**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**

WASH is a critical life-saving sector in emergencies and is essential for ensuring safe and sustainable access to other services, such as health and education. The absence of adequate WASH services can increase the risk of gender-based violence. With the growing impact of extreme weather events and protracted crises, the WASH Insecurity Analysis enables WASH actors to identify areas with the greatest WASH insecurities using robust, standardised methods. This analysis ensures data quality, building user confidence, and fosters a common understanding of WASH insecurity across humanitarian and development sectors—an understanding currently lacking in the WASH sector.

Although data availability in the WASH sector has improved, especially in hard-to-reach and insecure areas, there is no common method to analyse this data for decision-making. Unlike other sectors with established frameworks, such as the IPC and Cadre Harmonisé for Food Security, WASH lacks a harmonised approach, hindering evidence-based advocacy, resource mobilisation, and the identification of communities most in need of WASH services.

The WASH Insecurity Analysis is grounded in the human right to water and sanitation, focusing on availability, safety, and accessibility. WASH insecurity is shaped by access to WASH services, exposure to hazards, and underlying vulnerabilities such as gender, or poverty. This insecurity can lead to negative outcomes like increased waterborne diseases and the denial of basic human rights. The analysis identifies geographic areas and quantifies populations at risk or already experiencing WASH insecurity. It serves as a tool to unify diverse stakeholders across humanitarian and development contexts, promoting localisation through local-level analytical insights before and after shocks. It can guide governments and development actors in prioritising sectoral investments.

The analysis uses secondary data and offers three functions to meet users’ needs:

- A Base Score for global comparisons of WASH needs and risks.
- A Modular Function that integrates additional data for more detailed planning at national or regional levels.
- A Tailored Function that provides real-time, granular analysis for rapid decision-making, particularly after disasters.

Developed by UNICEF, the WASH Insecurity Analysis (WIA) is a composite index that identifies areas where populations have low WASH access, high exposure to hazards, and high vulnerability. WASH insecurity leads to negative outcomes, including increased disease rates, risks to well-being, and the denial of basic human rights. The WIA helps stakeholders:

- Prioritise WASH interventions and investments.
- Identify areas where multi-hazard preparedness is needed.
- Promote multi-stakeholder engagement, including government and private sector involvement, to reduce WASH insecurity.
- Inform programme design, highlighting where infrastructure needs to be shock-resistant or where multisectoral approaches are needed to address vulnerabilities.
- Collaborate with other sectors to identify joint priorities.

This assignment will support the Global WASH Cluster to continue the implementation of the WIA in five countries, promote institutionalization of the WIA, and to support proposal development. The WIA is a cross-division initiative so while the WIA Coordinator is based in the Global WASH Cluster, they will regularly collaborate across Divisions with the WASH Programme Group in the Programme Division and the JMP WASH Unit and Frontier Data under the Division of Analysis, Planning, and Monitoring (DAPM).
