Given that there may be a geographical spread of the emergency and thus multiple coordination hubs, an IM data flow should be agreed upon early in the emergency. In order to provide clarity, it should be proactively decided (with the clusters) that the field clusters are responsible for collecting their own local data, sharing it with their clusters at the national level to compile, and then share the data with OCHA. With this approach, products can be generated anywhere along the chain of data movement. .
OCHA may still receive data from partners who visit their offices, people who attend meetings, and by email. The agreed approach with the clusters should be that OCHA accept accepts this data with clear messaging that it will pass it along to the cluster (at the respective level) for incorporation into their 3W data. In this arrangement, OCHA becomes an extra conduit of information for the clusters.
