IASC advises that cluster should be managed through the creation of a Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) of key operational partners, complemented by separate forums or mechanisms to ensure broader information exchange for all cluster/sector partners. In that configuration, the WCC only plays a facilitator role, all important decisions and document being taken or endorsed by the SAG. The SAG must include the WCC, and it is advisable to include governmental national government representative and local actors as well. The SAG strengthens the participative participatory nature of the sector management, and because of it reduced size (from 5 to 10 members) still allows decisions to be taken quickly. Eligibility to SAG membership and members selection/election process must be described in the SAG ToR. |
