The IASC Principals have declared a Humanitarian System-Wide Scale-Up Activation, the new revised protocol to call for the mobilization of system-wide capacities and resources, beyond standard levels, to respond to critical humanitarian needs on the ground (former L-3 Activation). This triggers the activation of clusters for priority sectors. Clusters in Mozambique have been active since 2007. The Mozambique Shelter Cluster is currently co-led by CVM/IFRC and IOM.
