The FSC Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) (see the FSC website) were developed to provide greater clarity and guidance to those assigned to lead and manage an FSC in countries with humanitarian crises. The SOPs include quick guidance on what to do and achieve once the cluster is activated and should be seen as complementary to other existing tools (including this handbook). These SOPs describe concisely the main deliverables, key actions and tasks that CLAs, FSC Coordinators and IMOs should develop during the first days and weeks of any new humanitarian crisis in a country. 

Note: These SOPs are currently under review – please check with GST for updates.
