Who
Reporting organisation
The partner delivering the response — UN agency, NGO, government department or private operator — with its role on each activity.
Kenya WASH Sector · Emergency response
Know who is doing what, where, when, and for whom.
The 5W platform for Kenya's water, sanitation and hygiene response. Partners report activities from the field; coordinators see coverage, gaps and duplication across every county — in near real time, for every active emergency.

The 5W reporting model
Every submitted report answers the same five questions. That shared structure is what lets activities from dozens of partners be added up, mapped, and compared across an emergency.
What
Activity and indicator
The WASH activity carried out and the indicator values behind it: water trucked, latrines built, hygiene kits distributed.
Where
County → sub-county → ward
The exact administrative unit reached, placed on Kenya’s official location tree so results roll up and map cleanly.
When
Reporting period
The biweekly or monthly period the activity falls in, so trends and response speed can be tracked over time.
For whom
People reached
The population served, disaggregated by the scheme the emergency uses, so coverage and gaps are visible per group.
One comparable picture
Why the structure matters
Because every partner answers the same five questions, reports add up across 47 counties without manual reconciliation — so gaps and duplicated effort show up early enough to act on.
Emergencies being tracked
Each emergency is a self-contained context with its own forms, indicators, reporting cadence and dashboards. Pick one after signing in and the whole platform scopes to it.

From field report to sector dashboard
Four steps, repeated every reporting round.
- Step 1
Pick the emergency
Choose the active context — drought, floods, a disease outbreak — and the platform loads its forms and indicators.
- Step 2
Submit the report
Complete the 5W form for your organisation and location. Validation rules catch gaps before submission.
- Step 3
Review and approve
Reports move through a review workflow, so coordinators approve figures before they reach public dashboards.
- Step 4
See the response
Approved reports feed dashboards and choropleth maps showing coverage, gaps and overlap across counties.
What the platform gives coordinators
Coverage maps
Choropleth maps of Kenya shade counties, sub-counties and wards by any indicator — showing where response is thin.
Live dashboards
Configurable charts and tables per emergency, filtered by location, period and partner.
Form designer
Build and version 5W questionnaires without a developer as an emergency’s information needs change.
Indicator framework
Activities link to a results framework of outcomes and outputs, so reporting maps to sector targets.
Official geography
Kenya’s counties, sub-counties and wards are built in, so every partner reports against the same place names.
Review workflow
Configurable statuses and transitions keep a clear audit trail from draft through to approved figures.

Access is granted in three tiers, so partners see what they need without navigating system configuration.
