  To further improve the implementation of the cluster approach, the evaluation team 
suggests the following recommendations. The recommendations are organized in 
six thematic groups and recommendations within these groups are listed in order 
of priority. 
  Recommendation 1
 
 Identify existing preparedness, response and coordination mechanisms and 
capacities and link with/support/complement them where appropriate 
   
To strengthen timeliness, preparedness, linking with development and supporting the 
sustainability of humanitarian relief operations, clusters, depending on context, should 
be more closely linked to national actors, other coordination mechanisms and longer-
term development projects.
