Types of support
The GNC has established a number of support mechanism, namely:
Short-term support from the GNC Coordination Team
In-country support can be provided for one-two weeks to review challenges and provide recommendations to improve coordination and information management in clusters/sector working groups. Please contact GNC CT for more information.
Rapid Response Team
Remote or in-country support provided to countries for up to eight weeks in cluster/sector working group coordination and information management. In exceptional circumstances, support can be provided for up to three months.
The purpose of the Global Nutrition Cluster Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to provide coordination and information management support during emergencies and humanitarian crisis. The RRT consists of four experience professionals - two Nutrition Cluster Coordinators and two Information Management Officers - with the proven technical capacity to provide the required support during humanitarian situations. The RRT members can provide dedicated surge capacity, both in-country and remotely, to any country office and are available within 72 hours (pending visa requirements). This enables a timely and coordinated response, which then ensures improved emergency nutrition interventions.
The RRT is one option for sourcing surge/temporary staff for Clusters and Areas of Responsibility (AoR). The RRT ensures that high level staff are secured to ensure that the cluster functions can be supported or established in the event of a sudden onset crisis or if an existing crisis escalates dramatically. For more information please read the RRT flyer.

UNICEF (Cluster Lead Agency for the GNC), has signed a Standby Agreement with various external partners, including NGOs, Governments and private companies. The overall program is referred to as Standby Arrangements. The purpose of Standby Arrangements is to ensure the provision of additional support to UNICEF and UNICEF led clusters/Areas of Responsibility to enhance capacity and efficiency in responses to emergencies and humanitarian crisis. Various partners maintain either a varied pool of operational resources or specific niche expertise that can provide in country support at short notice. Management of the partnership and resources is done in advance, allowing for a timely and effective response to a sudden crisis, including support to protracted crisis and capacity gaps in smaller emergencies. Standby Arrangements are an effective example of the power of leveraging partnerships to support emergency response, to impact humanitarian action, and to achieve greater results for children. UNICEF’s Standby Arrangements are led by the Inter Agency and Humanitarian Partnerships Section (IA&HP) in the Office of Emergency Programmes (EMOPS) Geneva.
