GSC Coordination Toolkit

The Coordination Toolkit has been compiled for Shelter Cluster Coordinators, Sub-National and Technical Coordinators at country level.

The aim of the Coordination Toolkit is to:

1. Save time by having editable examples
2. Stimulate and inspire Coordinators to draft more guidance notes, standards, strategies, factsheets and Cluster related documentation
3. Standardise formats to improve quality
4. Standardise the basic set of documents all Clusters should aspire to draft
5. Create a common understanding by highlighting key resource documents to be read and studied

The Toolkit comes in two parts:

• The Companion to the Toolkit, which introduces each document with the author (or country of origin), date and a brief description. Some have been written by the authors, others are taken from the document’s introduction.
• The actual documents themselves, which can be accessed individually through this page or downloaded as a complete archive.
• If you have documents you want to propose for inclusion into future revisions of the Toolkit, please upload them here. We are interested in new or better reference material written by others but also very interested in documents and tools that you and your team may have drafted.  We are keen to capture these unique documents for for future use. If applicable, please submit a PDF and WORD version so that others can easily edit for their context.  Please also write a description of the document, 4 - 6 lines is fine.  In this, introduce the document, why you wrote it (if applicable) what it was used for and any opinion or further comment.  Your readers will be colleagues from other Clusters around the world so this is a chance to pass on some hard earned experience and advice.
