Shared vision on the problem & response analysis :
• Low interest in the WASH component of the crisis• Under funding of the WASH part of the response• Need for a common ground of evidences / good
practices

Shared vision on the problem & response analysis :
• Reccurent cholera outbreak with an increasing frequency
• Low response capacity / too late• Despite increasing knowledge, lack of
standardised response (pb of knowledge transmission and application)
• Lack of long term investments

Regional level : Ideal place for analysis, cross border and inter country experience sharing, capitalisation and
knowledge management
Country 1 Country 2 Country 3 Country 4
Actor 1 Actor 2 Actor 3 Actor 4
Very useful for longer term improvement of the response (reinventing the wheel) Based on a Bottom Up Top Down Approach Need to build on a well functionning national coordination level
RECA enables an entry point through partners such as NGOs (beyond ECHO partners and funded projects), OCHA, etc
Increase accountability and performance of clusters(RECA is a parallel channel which allows partners to provide feedbacks on Cluster performance &point out inefficiencies or voice out alerts to regional level)

Challenges :
• Fragile : Based on individuals, commited to work together and to support the regional coordination
• Informal status : Lack of legitimity to bring some countries / partners together towards the implementation of regional strategies
• National coordination performance level : In the end, the success of the regional approach depends on a well functionning national coordination (need for ad hoc support)
• Capitalisation / information sharing : Need to build a strong regional knowledge management system which could ease the learning process for newcomers
