| Consolidated Appeals Procss (CAP) |
The CAP has two major components, firstly the Common
Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) which outlines the causes and scope of
humanitarian need and identifies priority areas, in the form of 'Strategic
Objectives', based on situation analysis, scenario building and review of work
done, and secondly strategic response plans, including individual projects, to
meet the objectives.
Through the cluster coordination mechanism including close consultation with the
local authority, 236 projects (147 from NGOs and 89 from UN agencies) with a
budget of US$664,473,688 are included in oPt CAP 2010, to meet the identified
priority strategic objectives.
The priority 'Strategic Objectives' endorsed in the oPt CAP 2010 include;
Providing humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable especially those living
