Full report
Clusters are voluntary coordination bodies bringing together agencies in a humanitarian

Although they follow the same broad terms of reference, they differ markedly in the activities they conduct and the degree of coordination they attempt.
This discussion starter summarises the main points from the ALNAP study on this subject.
