Establishment and maintenance of effective mechanisms
• Ensure appropriate coordination with national
authorities to the extent the political extent allows.
This will involve liaising and working with relevant
government counterparts to support or complement
existing coordination mechanism, where they exist.
The cluster coordinator will either represent the
cluster at sectorial meetings lead by national
authorities or co-chair cluster meetings with national
authorities as appropriate
• Identify and establish contact with all relevant
stakeholders including national and international
organizations, and representative of affected
populations. Invite these stakeholders to participate in
the work of the cluster as appropriate.
• Convene and facilitate meetings of the cluster (and/or
joint meetings with another cluster), increasing or
reducing their frequency as needed but being careful
to avoid meeting overload. Ensure that cluster
meetings are well managed and action and
resultoriented with decisions clearly communicated to
relevant cluster partners and stakeholders. Ensure
that meetings are managed in line with the Principles
of Partnership.
• Facilitate agreement on an efficient division of labour
and the assignment of responsibilities amongst cluster
partners which account of their comparative
advantage and complementarities. Designate focal
points or working groups for specific issues where
necessary
• Support OCHA to establish and maintain appropriate
inter-cluster coordination mechanisms. Represent the
cluster in inter-cluster coordination for as appropriate.
• Needs assessment, analysis, prioritization and planning
• Ensure that the cluster covers all the identified and
evolving sector needs of the affected population, and
not only those that relate to the specific mandate of
individual cluster members, including that of the
Cluster Lead Agency/s.
• Organize joint field missions, needs assessments and
analysis among cluster partners and participate in
joint inter-cluster needs assessment exercises as
appropriate to ensure that identified needs, gaps and
priorities are as evidence-based in any given
emergency context.
• Ensure that the response plan of the cluster as
regularly updated according to evolving needs and
that is establishes indicators by which performance of
the cluster can be measured.
• Advocate for the use of participatory and
communitybased approaches in the planning and
implementation of projects. Promote measures which
increase accountability to affected populations and
promote the identification of durable solutions.
• Transition planning
• Depending on the specific country situation, lead the
design of appropriate transition strategies for the
cluster to ensure continuity between the
humanitarian response, recovery and development
phases and disaster risk reduction initiatives. Ideally
this will involve working closely with national
counterparts and development actors to ensure a
resumption of national ownership of cluster activities.
It will also involve consideration of how coordination
mechanisms and cluster membership should change
as the humanitarian subsides.
• Integration of cross-cutting issues
• Raise awareness if and provide the integration of agreed
priority cross-cutting issues (e.g. age, environment,
gender, HIV/AIDS and human rights) in cluster/inter-
cluster needs assessments analysis, planning,
implementation and monitoring. Work with cross-
cutting issue focal points (if they have been
designated) or, if necessary, call upon global
crosscutting issue focal points to support the effective
mainstreaming of these issues within the response.
• Application of standards, guidelines and good practice
• Facilitate discussion and agreement on the use of
common standards and tools among cluster partners.
Promote awareness of and adherence to relevant
policy guidelines, codes of conduct and examples of
good practice by all cluster partners, taking into
consideration the possible need for local adaptation
both in terms of language and content.
• Ensure to the extent possible that cluster partners use
common standards and tools for information
collection/sharing and data management, including in
needs assessments and monitoring (while respecting
principles of confidentiality and protection concerns).
• Ensure that cluster partners are aware of relevant
commitments that the government has made under
international human rights and humanitarian law and
promote a response which is in line with these
commitments.
• Advocacy
• Together with cluster partners, identify core advocacy
concerns for the sector and contribute key messages
to the broader advocacy initiatives of the HC, the
Cluster Lead Agency and other relevant actors. Where
appropriate, develop a joint cluster/inter-cluster
advocacy initiative to raise the profile and needs of the
cluster among in-country humanitarian donors.
Encourage all cluster partners to include
common/sector-wide issues, concerns and messages
in their own communication activities.
• Integration of cross-cutting issues
• Raise awareness if and provide the integration of
agreed priority cross-cutting issues (e.g. age,
environment, gender, HIV/AIDS and human rights) in
cluster/inter-cluster needs assessments analysis,
planning, implementation and monitoring. Work with
cross-cutting issue focal points (if they have been
designated) or, if necessary, call upon global
crosscutting issue focal points to support the effective
mainstreaming of these issues within the response.
• Ensure to the extent possible that cluster partners use
common standards and tools for information
collection/sharing and data management, including in
needs assessments and monitoring (while respecting
principles of confidentiality and
• Information management, monitoring, evaluation and
reporting
• Facilitate adequate reporting and information sharing
both within the cluster and with other clusters through
inter-cluster coordination mechanisms. This will
involve contact list management and collecting 3 or 4
W information (Who/What/Where/When) from
partners and ensuring it is shared with the interagency
coordination body so that it can be processed and
redistributed at the cluster level and to other
stakeholders.
• Ensure that updated ad relevant cluster-specific
information is included in general inter-cluster
reporting including common web platforms. Situation
Reports and other reporting mechanisms.
