Agenda Overview of the EiE WG EiE partner mapping Way forward for the sector
The cluster approach “At the global level, the aim of the cluster approach is to strengthen system-wide preparedness and technical capacity to respond to humanitarian emergencies by ensuring that there is predictable leadership and accountability in all the main sectors or areas of humanitarian response.” -IASC Guidance Note on Using the Cluster Approach to Strengthen Humanitarian Response “'Education in emergencies' refers to the quality learning opportunities for all ages in situations of crisis, including early childhood development, primary, secondary, non-formal, technical, vocational, higher and adult education. Education in emergencies provides physical, psychosocial and cognitive protection that can sustain and save lives.” http://toolkit.ineesite.org/term-bank/en/terms/education_in_emergencies
The cluster approach “Similarly, at the country level the aim is to strengthen humanitarian response by demanding high standards of predictability, accountability and partnership in all sectors or areas of activity. It is about achieving more strategic responses and better prioritization of available resources by clarifying the division of labour among organizations, better defining the roles and responsibilities of humanitarian organizations within the sectors, and providing the Humanitarian Coordinator with both a first point of call and a provider of last resort in all the key sectors or areas of activity.” -IASC Guidance Note on Using the Cluster Approach to Strengthen Humanitarian Response
Humanitarian Programme Cycle HPC
Six core functions Six core functions of a cluster at country level: Support service delivery: Provide a platform that ensures service delivery is driven by strategic priorities. Develop mechanisms to eliminate duplication of service delivery. Inform strategic decision-making: Prepare needs assessments and analysis of gaps (across and within clusters, using information management tools as needed) to inform the setting of priorities. Identify and find solutions for (emerging) gaps, obstacles, duplication and cross-cutting issues. Formulate priorities on the basis of analysis. Plan and implement cluster strategies: Develop sectoral plans, objectives and indicators that directly support realization of the overall response’s strategic objectives. Apply and adhere to common standards and guidelines. Clarify funding requirements, helping to set priorities, and agreeing cluster contributions to overall humanitarian funding proposals. Monitor and evaluate performance: Monitor and report on activities and needs. Measure progress against the cluster strategy and agreed results. Recommend corrective action where necessary. Build national capacity in preparedness and contingency planning. Support robust advocacy: Identify concerns; contribute key information and messaging. Undertake advocacy on behalf of the cluster, cluster members, and affected people. CCRM w/o HC/HCT, HRP
