The Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster (FSLC) has developed this transition plan, which would lead to deactivation of the cluster, in the spirit of transferring responsibilities to local actors or government to ensure predictability of leadership. This plan is critical to the cluster approach, and without it, the fundamental element of predictable leadership is lost. It is a commitment of the cluster system and FAO, the lead agency, to ensure effective and appropriate humanitarian response.
