One of the key decisions made by the gFSC partners during the December 2015 global partners’ meeting was to establish a Strategic Advisory Group (SAG). With support from an Ad Hoc Committee, gFSC drafted the Terms of Reference, which were presented and endorsed during the gFSC global partners meeting in June 2016. An election was held and Action against Hunger, Welthungerhilfe and IFRC were elected as members. The SAG came to full shape by September 2016 with nominations from FAO and WFP, the election of a field Cluster Coordinator from Whole of Syria (WoS) and the nomination of ACTED as additional member.

The SAG is composed of 8 members who represent the following organisations: Cluster Coordinator, FAO, gFSC, Norwegian Refugee Council, Solidarités International, Save the Children International, WFP and World Vision. If you wish to reach out to SAG, please contact sag@fscluster.org

The latest SAG elections were held in November 2020. The next one is planned in November 2021.
