Extent of additionalgeographic coverageExtent of additional geographic coverage (gaps andduplications) since the introduction of the clusterapproach in frequently reoccurring sudden onsetor protracted crises.NOTE: When assessing the additional geographicand thematic coverage achieved through thecluster approach, current response efforts needto be compared to previous response efforts. Sucha comparison is only reasonably possible in casesof long-term, protracted crises or where similarsudden-onset disasters reoccur frequentlys c a l e0: No additional geographic coverage despiteagreed upon needs; duplication not identified1: Measures for better geographic coverage developed,but not implemented; duplications identified, but notaddressed2: Measures partly implemented; geographic coverageincreasing; duplications avoided3: Evidence of significantly increasedgeographic coveragee v a l u a t i o n cr i t e r i o nEffectivenessl e v e l of lo g i c mo d e lOutcomeindicator2.
