From Relief to Self-Reliance

12 septembre From Relief to Self-Reliance

What type of involvement do you have with cluster or sector coordination in your country? 12 septembre

4 Knowledge: Participants know the minimum commitments for participation in the cluster approach as well as the seven core cluster functions and the deliverables associated with these Skills: Participants are able to enhance participation in the cluster and guide improvements to core cluster functions within their own country contexts → Development of a workplan to follow Attitude: Participants are aware of the responsibilities and benefits of working within the cluster approach, for International Medical Corps as an organisation but also for the humanitarian response a whole Time: total 1h30 (1 hour presentation + 30min questions and answers)

Pakistan Floods Haiti Earthquake 2010 UN Photo/Logan AbassiUN Photo/Evan Schneider ► Then the humanitarian community learnt some new lessons… there were still some weaknesses and inefficiencies Humanitarian reform in 2005 to improve the effectiveness of the humanitarian response Humanitarian reform in 2005 to improve the effectiveness of the humanitarian response Brief history Transformative Agenda

2011 – IASC Principals Agree to Set of Transformative Actions Roster of Emergency Coordinators for Level 3 Emergencies Empowered Leadership Inter-Agency Rapid Response Mechanism Leadership Training Strategic use of Clusters Simplified Cluster management Minimum Commitments for participation in Clusters Strengthening NGO representation in the Humanitarian Country Team Common Humanitarian Programme Cycle to achieve collective results Assessment, strategic statement, resource allocation, implementation, monitoring, reporting and evaluation Common Performance and Reporting Framework Accountability to Affected People

The Cluster System

WHAT IS IT? Activation more strategic, less automatic and time limited A dynamic approach that facilitates joint efforts, one voice representing all humanitarian actors serving the host government It supports the strategy and leadership of the national authority, strengthening existing national-led coordination mechanisms to the extent possible Cluster partners sharing responsibility for effective and timely humanitarian response Professional, predictable response to agreed standards Streamlining of cluster functions with more focus on results rather than processes Enhanced accountability to affected populations 9. The Cluster ApproachRememberRemember

WHAT IT IS NOT? It is not an attempt to undermine the government response, but strives to help strengthen government or existing coordination It is not UN-centric; it depends on the active participation of all humanitarian members, e.g. NGOs, the Red Cross/Crescent Movement, UN agencies and of course….. the Government It is not a “one size fits all” approach; in each emergency it is up to humanitarian actors on the ground, in consultation with relevant government counterparts, to determine the priority sectors for the response 10 The Cluster ApproachRememberRemember

Cluster Coordinator Cluster Participating Agencies: NGOs, civil society, UNICEF Section chief, etc… Government CLA UNICEF Country Rep CLA UNICEF global office Information Manager SAG TWGs Humanitarian Coordinator How are we accountable within the cluster system? (Formal and informal)

Key roles and responsibilities within a cluster Cluster Lead AgencyCluster CoordinatorCluster Partners Defining the nutrition cluster coordination structure NCC, IM and required staff are hired and oriented. Define expectations and TORs Ensure that security, administrative and operational support procedures are clear Advocacy resource mobilization preparedness NCC need to act as neutral representative of the Nutrition Cluster coordination of sector strategic planning prioritization – interventions and resources Advocacy application of standards Provider of last resort Endorse the overall aim and objectives of NCCoordination Agreeing to and sharing responsibilities Maintaining coordination Be proactive in exchanging information Identifying advocacy concerns Respect and adhere to agreed principles, policies, priorities and standards

Partner Commitments as per the Transformative Agenda… They should be regarded as an absolute minimum and a starting point: Commitment to Humanitarian Principles and Principles of Partnership Willingness to take on leadership (in working groups, sub-national level, etc.) Active participation Capacity to contribute to Cluster’s Strategic Response Plan (SRP) 19

Readiness to participate in actions that specifically improve accountability to affected people A demonstrated understanding of the duties and responsibilities associated with membership of the cluster, as defined by IASC Commitment to mainstream cross-cutting issues (age, gender, etc) Committed staff member Commitment to work cooperatively with other cluster partners Undertake Advocacy 20 …Partner Commitments as per the Transformative Agenda

PRINCIPLES OF PARTNERSHIP Complementarity Transparency Results- oriented Responsibility Equality Mutual respect Communication Coordinate capability & capacity Commit only what can deliver Build on comparative advantage A Statement of Commitment

IMC can expect from the Nutrition Cluster… Coordination activities that support service delivery (tackling bottlenecks) Strategic direction Situation analysis/Trend analysis Identification of needs, gaps and priorities in the response and adequate representation of these at higher levels Mapping of activities, gaps and duplications Monitoring and analysis of the response as a whole Impartial discussion around humanitarian space Joint advocacy Common preparedness and contingency planning Transparent resource allocation 12 septembre

… IMC responsibilities within the Nutrition Cluster… Endorse and adhere to cluster coordination aims, objectives and principles of partnership (ToR) along with priorities and standards Incorporate cluster objectives and support into agency workplans/ strategic planning Sharing responsibilities : – Leadership role in co-lead of national/sub-national clusters (to be reflected in job descriptions 30%-100% of time depending on cluster) – Active member of strategic advisory group, technical working groups, collaborative assessments, project reviews Contributing and guiding strategic debate and planning of nutrition cluster Identifying advocacy concerns Supporting preparedness activities Providing technical expertise, opinion, debate and feedback on cluster activities and documents Pro-active information-sharing and dissemination of IMC’s cutting edge innovative technical and programming experiences 12 septembre

…IMC’s participation in the Nutrition Cluster can improve Cooperation and coordination with other partners (vital strong NGO “voice”, balance group dynamics) Increased participation and capacity of local NGOs (coaching and mentoring of local partners to participate in cluster) Information sharing and management given IMC’s strong M&E capacity  key role to play in strengthening standardized cluster M&E systems Participatory approaches Use of relevant standards Integration of cross-cutting issues and integration with other sectors  Improve effectiveness of nutrition programming as a collective  Increase impact of nutrition sector as a whole, not just IMC response, on affected populations 12 septembre Based on what you have learned you will need to develop a workplan to scale up IMC participation in the Nutrition Cluster of your country TASK

12 septembre From Relief to Self-Reliance

The lack of technical staff is a limitation for attendance to cluster activities Need programme staff 100% dedicated to nutrition cluster activities for active participation Cluster approach is only a UN approach FALSE A partner can be represented by CD, program coordinator, etc.. Cluster coordination is part of the on-going job of partner staff at field level and needs to be reflected/accounted for in JD Cluster approach is a IASC concept

Partnership is key to have an effective cluster coordination mechanism Participating to the cluster is a win win activity All partners are equaly important among the cluster coordination group

Knowledge: Participants know the minimum commitments for participation in the cluster approach as well as the seven core cluster functions and the deliverables associated with these Skills: Participants are able to enhance participation in the cluster and guide improvements to core cluster functions within their own country contexts → Development of a workplan Attitude: Participants are aware of the responsibilities and benefits of working within the cluster approach, for IMC as an organisation but also for the humanitarian response a whole Time: total 1h30 12 septembre
