Ensure systems for high-frequency partner reporting against a limited set of key performance CCC indicators (output)
• Support UNICEF-led clusters in negotiating/advocating for a limited set of key performance CCC indicators (output) and supporting the development of systems for high-frequency (monthly) monitoring and reporting with Inter-Agency partners
• Establish and maintain a systematic approach to field monitoring across UNICEF-supported programming to ensure adequate data on the quality of programming (use of supplies; implementation bottlenecks; equity of access; do no harm; engagement with local capacities)
• Support and facilitate live tracking of key operations support functions – funding, supply management and HR management
• Where UNICEF is the country Cluster/AoR Lead Agency, establishment and maintains regular assessments of UNICEF Cluster Coordination performance milestones

• Support production of CO SitRep providing aggregate data from a limited set of key performance CCC indicators to measure UNICEF progress, as relevant Sector progress where UNICEF cluster lead

• Initiate documentation of the timeline of key decisions and actions
• Support real-time evaluation and lessons learning process
• Support the preparation of a Programme Partnership Strategy that includes streamlined management of PCAs, engagement with existing partners and establishment of new partnerships to fill gaps – is this the role of HPM? For UNICEF it is Section Chiefs – for Clusters it is cluster coordinators
• Support in mapping of PCAs and most affected areas to support reaching the most vulnerable/affected population and to maximize cross-sectoral coverage
• Where UNICEF is a Cluster Lead Agency, that supports cluster dissemination Information Management as needed especially where common cross-cluster systems are operational
