  1. Statements for agreement based on Day 1 group work

  2. GNC’s role in providing training • The 3 priority areas for capacity strengthening/ training of NCCs are: • Coordination • Information management • Technical knowledge /skills • NCCs (including RRTs) should be the sole focus of any GNC training activities (not global or country-level partners)

  3. GNC’s role in providing technical training • Technical trainings should not be a core function of the GNC but the GNC can commission technical training for NCCs as a ‘trainer of last resort’ after all options at country and global level have been exhausted • Optimise opportunities for joint training on generic coordination and IM with other clusters.

  4. GNC’s role in providing technical support to NCC • GNC-CT should not be responsible for providing day-to-day technical support – an alternative mechanism for delivering this must be determined e.g. EN-net w/ Cluster Tab • Substantial technical support should be outsourced (parameters to differentiate between the two should be determined).

  5. GNC’s role in providing technical/programming guidelines • The GNCs primary role regarding harmonization of technical guidance is communicating that gaps exist and advocating to those who can fill • If advocacy doesn’t work, interim technical guidelines are preferably developed via • Strategic partnership • Outsourcing (payment) • Task force only if necessary • SAG to support GNC-CT in determining modality of guideline development

  6. GNC’s role in Communication, Information Management and Knowledge Management • A Taskforce on KM/IM should be established under the GNC • The diagram on nutrition information should be endorsed reflecting need for analysis of data from other sectors • A ‘best practice’ review of where IM/KM worked well for a cluster should be conducted looking at Standard indicators, standard methodology and standard reporting cluster’s • External uses by other sectors of nutrition information should be reviewed • A KM expert should be recruited to help country clusters convert data into information and then into knowledge • Remove/ change: A KM specialist should be recruited to work as part of the GNC-CT to support country clusters on a regular basis. (Rely more on existing capacity among partners, determine what is neede

  7. Internal linkages in the GNC, GNC CT, SAG, NCCs • The diagram of internal relationships should be revised • To reflect power relationships. The role/influence/relationship with the CLA should be reflected. • To clarify relationships between cluster/sector and relevant actors. • The SAG: • Should not act as a de facto working group but should retain the aim of strategic support, otherwise it is too much of a burden on SAG members. • TOR should be reviewed and revised, and retain oversight/advisory role. Membership to be rotational by staggered to retain memory. • Decision making role should be defined better, along with ensuring that partners are consulted/informed on all issues.

  8. Internal linkages: related to SAG • SAG with GNC • SAG is a sub-set of GNC • Provides oversight and direction • Rotating membership • NCC with GNC • NCC placed at the core as they perform 100% cluster work(more than invitees –TBD) • Task Force with SAG and GNC • GNC collective takes decision to form a TF

  9. External linkages between GNC and other agencies/initiatives • GNC needs to articulate its purpose concisely and communicate it externally to a range of audiences, including potential partners. • Area of work where partnerships may be beneficial should be identified by the GNC. • Objectives and outputs, roles and added value of partnerships in line with the GNC purpose need to be clearly articulated

  10. External linkages between GNC and other agencies/initiatives • Need to clarify process (and who leads) for identifying, establishing, strengthening external partnerships. (Not everyone is in the same meetings). • Resource requirements of each potential partnership need to be analyzed. • Partnerships w/ CMAM forum, SCN and SUN should be further developed.
