- By merging the multi-sectoral and multi-level models it is possible to generate a matrix in which responsibilities are laid out at multiple levels and across different sectors. This sort of matrix can assist programmers in designing a comprehensive action plan for their organization, and can also be used as the basis for VWG coordination plans as well as national action plans. A matrix of these combined models provides those who are working in humanitarian settings an overarching framework to guide the development and prioritization of interventions in order to avoid the mistake of creating short-term programs that have no basis for sustainability and/or long-term impact.
