Food Security Cluster - Information Management Officers Handbook

This Handbook provides an in-depth overview of the key tasks required to undertake the role of IMO and is a living repository that will be updated regularly by the global Food Security Cluster (gFSC).

The Handbook is divided into core themes that will provide a one-stop shop for relevant information and materials, including both internal products, guidelines and links to official external materials for your perusal.

Key links will be highlighted in orange while all internal materials will be provided to you through the Toolbox / Annexes at the end of the respective section.

Each core theme will commence with a short introductory summary and will include a breakdown of the respective sub-sections.

Please be aware that this handbook is intended to cover IMO-specific topics only; other thematic areas that are general but fundamental for the IMO to be familiar with (e.g. humanitarian structures, cluster functions, etc) are covered by the Cluster Coordinator Handbook (1.1. CC Handbook contents page available here) and will be referenced accordingly. Therefore please familiarise yourself with the CC Handbook which is complimentary to the IM Handbook and will provide more detail on the coordination and structural workings of the humanitarian response.

Good luck fellow IMO!
