Guide to Developing Education Cluster Strategies

All Education Clusters should have a Strategy in place that guides partners in their implementation of an effective, timely, and quality emergency response. Having an Education Cluster Strategy allows us to better communicate the needs of crisis-affected children, beyond a summary in an inter-sectoral plan. The Education Cluster Strategy document will serve as a basis for quick decision-making that all
partners have contributed to, understand and are committed to; helping ensure predictability and mutual understanding during emergency response. An Education Cluster Strategy is also a tool for resource mobilization and advocacy, and helps ensure alignment and continuity of education across the humanitarian-development continuum.
