conference contribution

worldwide began with an over all responsibility for non-food assistance. It was transformend to sector leadership in the
1990s and now has become cluster manager. This new cluster approach has much potential to improve the international
communities ability to respond to an emergancy but many challenges remain. Effective global leadership by UNICEF
is essentialto to the realization of this potential but ultimate success depends on the effective engagment of the broader
Humanitarian community on the ground.
