The global corporate trigger mechanism was activated, giving emergencies full organizational priority with respect to supplies, fundraising and deployment of staff for the initial 90 days. Global financial monitoring tools were modified to permit monthly tracking and reporting to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Country Offices’ twice-yearly reports on the results achieved in tsunami programmes allowed for a rigorous schedule of audits and evaluations. Information was widely shared through reports to donors, public UNICEF reports and the posting of evaluations and information on the UNICEF website.
