The Strategic Advisory Group is the main body for the strategic governance of the Global Protection Cluster representing its broad membership. The SAG embodies a culture of shared and collective leadership and accountability, and ensures the inclusive, participatory, and accountable governance of the GPC, under the overall leadership of the GPC Coordinator. The SAG is chaired by the GPC Coordinator and a NGO co-chair elected by the NGOs from the SAG for a 2-year mandate.
