Humanitarian policy
Where a decision has been made to transition or deactivate the interagency humanitarian system in a country context, actors on the ground can expect the eventual deactivation of clusters, ceasing of HNRPs, deactivation of HCTs, and de-hatting of HCs. Mechanisms like OCHA-led pooled funds may also be stood down.

In most countries, UN agencies will continue to be guided by the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework and will coordinate via the UNCT. Maintaining inclusive space for NGOs, including local and national NGOs, requires more deliberate planning.

These discussion questions are designed to help HCTs consider if and how to maintain any coordination systems and structures to support remaining response needs following the IASC system deactivation.
