Section Three provides recommendations and best practice guidance for use of CBI in refugee settings. Section Four details existing tools and guidance.

A sample organigram for running a typical refugee WASH programme for 20,000 people in a post emergency camp based setting.

This is the standard UNHCR well cleaning and chlorination template for refugee settings available in PDF and MSExcel formats.

The form is available in MSExcel format so WASH actors can adapt the content to the context.
This template can be used to help UNHCR and WASH actors establish a simple WASH operational plan (WHO will do WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and HOW and WHO will PAY and WHO will MONITOR). This template can be used in addition to the site level WASH Strategy Template.
