Iasc cluster approach evaluation, 2nd phase april 2010

ROLE OF OCHA AND INTER-CLUSTER COORDINATION
The role of OCHA is critical for making the cluster approach work 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Inter-cluster coordination remains weak 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Inter-cluster meetings tend to focus on information sharing  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and do not systematically identify multidisciplinary issues,  
duplications or gaps
Strategic inter-cluster coordination mechanisms are lacking  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
as HCTs mainly work as inter-agency, not inter-cluster meetings
Important multi-sectoral or inter-cluster issues are not addressed 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Overlaps between clusters exist 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The creation of targeted multi-displinary groups for specific 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
issues remains an exception
CCCM, protection and early recovery overlap with  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
inter-cluster coordination
