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 heat of the HPC.tools, managing the plan framework for each tracked humanitarian response plan.
The Response Planning and Monitoring (RPM) tool manages the creation and subsequent 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 stored, at both national and cluster levels, as well as the objectives, indicators and targets making up the results framework.
MONITORING: RPM includes a monitoring component, allowing the 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.
Flexible framework structure The tool is fully configurable to support context-specific planning and monitoring: customising the framework elements, the clusters (or other coordination structures), the number and type of indicators, monitoring periods, level of detail expected etc.
Controlled user access. Each cluster coordinator can view what other clusters are entering and edit their own information. OCHA country offices have full access to the entire plan.
Indicator management. Indicators can be chosen from the global indicator registry or fully customised.
Disaggregation of targets and results. The tool can support any (or no disaggregation by e.g. gender, age, population type, geography etc.)
Cluster caseloads and cluster and activity costs, enabling activity-based costing and caseload monitoring.
Basic plan viewer. Once published, the strategic framework and associated monitoring data can be viewed online, as well as exported to Excel.
APIs Data can be fed directly into IM products such as dashboards and documents.
