Overview

HPC.tools are the information services provided by OCHA which enable the humanitarian community to manage the structured information around the humanitarian programme cycle (HPC): needs indicators, strategic and cluster plan frameworks, response indicators, caseloads, activities and projects. 3W and financial data.

RPM is at the hear of HPC.tools, managing Response Planning and Monitoring Module (RPM) is at the heart of HPC tools, managing and monitoring the plan framework for each tracked humanitarian response plan.

The Response Planning and Monitoring (RPM) This tool manages the creation and subsequent monitoring of monitoring of the strategic framework at the inter-cluster and cluster levels, supporting first the HRP planning process, and then the periodic monitoring processes which happen several times a year. 

  • CREATION: This is where humanitarian profile data is

    store

    stored, at both national and cluster levels, as well as the objectives, indicators and targets making up the results framework.

     

      

  • MONITORING: RPM

    inludes

    includes a monitoring component, allowing the

    sumbission

    submission of data on people reached with aid and other progress against objective and activity indicators. 

Process

The RPM tool manages data at the inter-cluster and cluster level, not at the level of individual partners. 

  1. Flexible framework structure

 

  1. : The tool is fully configurable to support context-specific planning and monitoring:

customising

  1. customizing the framework elements, the clusters (or other coordination structures), the

  1. number and type of

indicator

  1. indicators, monitoring periods, level of detail expected, etc. 

  1. Controlled user access. Each cluster

coordinator

  1. coordinator can view what other clusters are entering and edit their own information. OCHA country offices have full access to the entire plan.

  1. customized. 

  1. Disaggregation of targets and results. The tool can support any

  1. disaggregation by e.g. gender, age, population type, geography, etc. 

  1. Cluster caseloads and cluster

  1. and activity costs, enabling activity-based costing and caseload monitoring. 

  1. Basic plan viewer. Once published, the strategic framework and associated monitoring data can be viewed online, as well as exported to Excel. 

  1. APIs Data can be fed directly
