Ensuring an effective collaboration between the CC and the IMO is prerequisite for all core functions of the FSC at country level and for the core deliverables for any FSC coordination team: from supporting service delivery, informing strategic decision making to cluster strategy planning and implementation etc. (see 3.4.1 on core functions).  

The facilitation of FSC meetings and keeping up to date partner overviews are among the main ways to ensure this (other key tools such as dashboards and gap analyses are described in 5.15). As with many key country level FSC deliverables, this relies on the close collaboration between the Coordinator and the IMO and on crucial IM inputs/functions (see 3.5.3 for details on IMO responsibilities and tasks).
