PROTECTION CLUSTER COORDINATION TOOLBOX
The responsibility of the Global Protection Cluster (GPC) is to engage in three key areas: standards and policy setting, building response capacity, and operational support.
In this section you will find the necessary tools on the coordination of a field protection cluster. The GPC will continue to update the list of tools to ensure the provision of the most effective support to the field.
