HAC 2014

Field guidelines

29 October 2013

Main messages

• HAC not a report, but a key milestone in CO planning;– Time investment should match proportion of funds

being sought/to be implemented• HAC now sole internal mechanism for setting

ORE Planning Targets, replacing IND and HAUs;• ORE Planning Targets require review by

RDs/delegate (as part of CAP where relevant) and EMOPS

What is the HAC?

• Encompasses all UNICEF appeals to mobilize humanitarian resources;

• Not a writing/editing exercise, but milestone in planning to be monitored and reviewed throughout implementation;

• Office-wide

Key changes• Strengthen CO engagement:– Systematic consultations with non-CAP COs in

selection process, serving as ‘pre-planning’• Sequenced with other planning processes– feed into regular planning, informed by inter-

agency processes• Simultaneous HQ/RO review– speeding process while keeping technical review

at RO• Flexibility – Rolling vs. tied to mid-year• Improved look and branding of CO docs

Turning these …

Into the online HAC…

Streamlining planning, reporting and resource mobilization

• Programme and ORE Targets in line with other internal and external processes;

• Reporting should be against what you set out in the HAC (sitreps, COARs, CERs)

• COs will need to frame humanitarian results in Vision based on the HAC (forthcoming as part of global guidance)

HAC not a one-off publication, but aligned to internal/external processes

Different planning contexts:• non-CAP (later than previous years with more

time for substantive discussions)• CAP (timed to changing inter-agency process

Please flag any issues)• Sahel (inter-agency launch in February, bend-

but-don’t break HAC deadline)

Flexibility requires discipline in deadlines

Results reporting

• For 2013, 1 para. narrative and 1 results table– Against targets– Where applicable, with clusters/sectors

• Reporting period: Jan. – Oct.• All humanitarian results, regardless funding

source (footnote where carryover or regular programme contribution significant)

HAC responsibilities

• Review at least once a year – mid-year or earlier if needed

• Report on what Offices said they would do (Programme Targets) – twice a year, or more depending on scale of humanitarian situation;

• Show results for funds received when revising requirements

Wrap-up

• HAC not a report, but a key milestone in CO planning;

• HAC now sole internal mechanism for setting ORE Planning Targets, replacing IND and HAUs;

• ORE Planning Targets require review by RDs/delegate (part of CAP where relevant) and EMOPS

• Global guidance on CO humanitarian results structures – forthcoming as part of global guidance
