Updates to the 2021 HPC Complementary guidance on: ü Prioritization, response analysis, formulation of strategic and specific objectives, and targeting ü Joint Inter-Sectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF), including calculating people in need (Pi. N) ü Risk Analysis and Projections and ü Revised Step by Step Guide, and HNO and HRP templates that reduce repetition and align with complementary guidance.

Updates to the 2021 HPC ü Analysis and programming identified through Global Humanitarian Response Plan (GHRP) will be integrated into 2021 HPC; ü Emphasis on jointly agreeing on scope of analysis to inform structured needs analysis using the JIAF, and structured response analysis and prioritization; ü Reaffirms centrality of protection by mainstreaming within needs analysis through the 3 JIAF dimensions of (a) living conditions (b) mental and physical well-being and (c) coping mechanisms, and response planning. ü Agreed approach to arriving at joint inter-sectoral Pi. N and people targeted calculations;

The enhanced HPC approach for 2020 ü Forward-looking risk analysis, projections and anticipatory action with clearer linkages between humanitarian and development response planning frameworks ü Prioritizing inclusivity through disaggregation and/or analysis of the differential impacts of the crisis and associated needs for diverse groups of people, and communicating with communities
