In December 2011, the IASC Principals agreed to a set of actions under the IASC Transformative Agenda to improve humanitarian response, building on the 2005 Humanitarian Reform. The reforms are aimed at simplifying processes and mechanisms, improving inter-agency communication and collaboration, and building confidence in the system as a whole, from the immediate response to longer-term planning.

The Cluster Coordination Reference Module is one of the IASC Transformative Agenda Protocols. It outlines the basic elements of cluster coordination and intends to serve as a reference guide for field practitioners to help facilitate their work and improve humanitarian outcomes. This revised version builds on the first edition of the Cluster Coordination Reference Module published in 2012. Additional learning on themes covered in this module are available online.
