  Recommendation 4
   Increase the focus of resources for the cluster approach on the local level
   In  the  first  few  years  after  the  cluster  approach  was  introduced,  actors  focused  their 
resources on the global level first, the national level second and on the local level last. As 
the cluster approach matures, this order of priorities has started to change and should 
be reversed especially for operational clusters to ensure that cluster coordination has 
more operational relevance and fits local circumstances.
