surge capacity, trainings, learning exercises and handbooks
CLUSTER FOCUS AND MANAGEMENT

Actors complain that meetings take up too much time 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The leadership capacity and ability to apply relevant  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
facilitation techniques of coordinators is often insufficient
Actors complain that meeting schedules are disconnected  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
from coordination needs 
Cluster activities are often not concrete and action-oriented enough
