Overview

The Cluster approach is applied by the Humanitarian Coordinator and the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team to ensure greater predictability and accountability in humanitarian response. Nine clusters are active in Somalia: Agriculture & Livelihood, Education, Food Aid, Health,  Protection, Logistics, Nutrition, Shelter, and Water & Sanitation. Education and Food aid clusters are not currently active at the global level but have been introduced in Somalia to harmonise humanitarian coordination and response.

Somalia was one of the pilot countries where the approach was introduced: please refer to the Humanitarian Reform page for more information on the reform in Somalia.
