“Cluster approaches”: 
differences in 
implementation
  Illustration 2
  Levels of the cluster approach
 
3.2 Implementation at country level
18
   By November 2009, the cluster approach had been implemented in 36 countries 
and the intention is to extend it to all countries with a Humanitarian Coordinator.

At country level, the implementation of the cluster approach varies significantly. 
Key differences relating to the six case-study countries include:
 
•
   Types  of  emergencies.  Clusters  were  implemented  in  response  to  sudden-onset 
emergencies,  e.g.  Myanmar  and  Haiti,  as  well  as  to  protracted,  sometimes 
“forgotten” crises, such as Uganda, DRC and Chad.
