   Under certain circumstances, however, clusters can also undermine partnerships. 
This  includes  situations  in  which  clusters  are  badly  managed  and  facilitated, 
where clusters are actively involved in making resource allocation decisions (cf. 
section 4.7) and where clusters, especially the Protection Cluster, is closely linked 
to integrated missions or peacekeeping forces because this creates loyalty conflicts 
for cluster lead organizations and raises concerns among NGOs regarding their 
independence and neutrality.
