Appropriate nutrition status is underpinned by determinants across many sectors including water, sanitation and hygiene, health and food security, amongst others. Because of this, close coordination with other clusters is essential in order to ensure a holistic response in a nutrition emergency. Collaboration may take many forms, from information sharing on key indicators and joint analysis to joint programming or action planning. A joined-up response is key to the cluster approach.
