This can only be done through their active involvement in the process. It will also protect against: � inadequate involvement of national and local organisations � under-utilisation of existing cluster capacities � overlooking valuable skills and experience � demotivation of cluster partners � errors and insensitivities resulting from inadequate local knowledge. 8.3.2 Capacities for cluster coordination Key capacities for cluster coordination Cluster coordination Information management Education in Emergencies Communications and advocacy Supply and logistics Finance and administration Sub-national coordination Inter-cluster liaison Additional areas of expertise Translation and interpreting Knowledge management Monitoring and evaluation
Advocacy and resource mobilisation A range of capacities are needed for cluster coordination at both national and sub-national levels. In most emergencies the Coordinator and sub-national coordinators/focal points will either be the sole cluster staff members, or will work as a small co-lead team undertaking cluster coordination responsibilities in addition to a programming role with the CLA, or a cluster partner agency. In large emergencies, additional specialist staff may be needed. See section 2.3 for further details of the Coordinator role. The Coordinator, with the support of the CLA(s), should take the lead in identifying where the necessary capacities can be found, and bringing them on board as, or just before, they are required. The Coordinator must also make adequate provision for any additional costs anticipated in addressing cluster coordination capacity requirements, eg, for local translators and interpreters, or the recruitment of short-term advisers or consultants. 8.3.3 Mobilising capacities Once capacity shortfalls have been identified, the Coordinator will need to look at the options for mobilising both the education programming and cluster coordination capacities required. In doing so, it is important to give equal consideration to national and sub-national capacity requirements. Depending on the scale of the emergency, the following options for deployment are available: � Deployment of existing in-country staff from cluster partners to the emergency location (a first response). � Secondment or redeployment of staff based at regional level, or in other country programmes. UNICEF and Save the Children may be able to redeploy education specialists and experienced cluster coordination staff working in other countries or regional offices. � External standby arrangements with UNICEF international partners, such as the Norwegian Refugee Council. Staff are recruited on individual contracts. � Recruitment through external rosters or agencies. UNICEF and Save the Children have external rosters. Plan International, International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Associazione Volontari per il Servizio Internazionale (AVSI) also operate rosters, or can mobilize internal staff with appropriate skills. � Recruitment of staff within the country or affected location. � Partnership with NGOs or community-based organisations (CBOs) within the country or affected location. � Secondment of staff working in government or national research or academic institutions, eg, University of Nairobi’s Faculty of Education.
