Localization

The Global Health Cluster defines localization as a collaborative process to engage local and national actors (L/NAs) in leading health responses. In 2024 the Localization Strategy was launched, which outlines practical steps to strengthen L/NA involvement in coordination mechanisms at country and global levels, with specific goals set to be achieved by December 2025.

e-Learning

The Health Cluster Coordination e-learning course provides an introduction to the work of the Health Cluster, which aims to save lives and promote dignity in humanitarian and public health emergencies, and to strengthen the efficiency and accountability in responding to humanitarian crises.

Mobile Clinics

Mobile Clinics play a critical role in reaching people affected by conflict, displacement, and climate shocks. A practical toolkit, developed by the Global Health Cluster, Save the Children, and partners, supports consistent, high-quality care through five modular tools, guidance, field-ready resources, and a self-paced 90-minute e-learning course.
