For the attention of all GNC partners!
Through funding from the GNC, International Medical Corps is facilitating a training for GNC partners in Cluster Coordination and the Humanitarian Approach - April 30, May 1, and May 2, 2013, in Geneva.
Overall aim of the training workshop:
By increasing GNC partners’ understanding of cluster coordination and their role in the Nutrition Cluster, partners can better support both the GNC and their field offices, thereby improving results for the affected population.
Objectives of the workshop:
- To increase the understanding of Cluster Partners on:
importance and impact of Humanitarian Reform and the Cluster Approach at a global and country level
roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of the GNC, Cluster Lead Agencies and Cluster Partners at global and country levels
cluster partner roles in inter-cluster linkages (including Food Security links)
- To strengthen partnerships and commitment from cluster partners at global and country levels
- To identify actions which each partner agency can take to strengthen its strategic participation in both global and country level clusters and coordination
Partners are expected to fund their participation in this training. The organizers will not be able to cover the travel, lodging, and M&EI for anyone attending this training.
