Objectives: The evaluation assesses the operational effectiveness and the main outcomes of the cluster approach, as well as its interactions with other pillars of humanitarian reform, to inform and strengthen the ongoing humanitarian reform process. It does so on the basis of six country studies and extensive data and material gathering on the global level. In the case of Myanmar – one of the six selected countries - the report aims at generating recommendations for different stakeholders, especially for the global level because the clusters were closed in country as of June 2009.
