Set up and facilitate Sectorial Advisory Group
Although there is no single approach to sector/cluster management, it is advised by the IASC 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. SAG strengthens the participative nature of the sector management, and because of it reduced size still allow decisions to be taken quickly. Eligibility to SAG membership and members selection/election process must be described in the SAG ToR.
Establish TWiG as needed and monitor their outputs
Technical Working Groups (TWiG) are small, task oriented and time limited. They are created on a needs-basis, for example to agree minimum standards and formulate appropriate technical practices, and should dissolve once they have completed their task. TWiG are coordinated by a focal point or technical adviser, and are composed of relevant technical experts. Specific IM and assessment working group can also be created when needed.
