Global Focal Points (GFPs) act as a pool of experts that support country-level clusters in the establishment of adequate coordination and information management systems, the roll out of on-the-job training for deployed team/cluster members, the formulation of the initial cluster strategy and plan, and facilitate a gradual handover to longer-deployment teams. In total, the GFPs cover four functions:
| GFP FOR COORDINATION | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GFPs for Coordination have been enhancing the coordination provided by country-level clusters. They oversee that country-level clusters are fulfilling the six core functions defined by the IASC with a particular focus on supporting service delivery, informing strategic decision-making, planning and strategy development, advocacy, and monitoring and reporting. | ||||
