What are communication clusters and which are they?

Communication clusters comprise the Heads of Communication (Chief Directors) of national, line-function departments. The chair of the cluster is always the the head of communication of the lead department in the cluster. There are five clusters, which meet once a month at GCIS. The objectives of these meetings are to co-ordinate and plan communication of departmental projects and programmes, to assess and plan issues arising from Cabinet and the DG clusters, to plan and assess the implementation of departmental communication strategies and to share information.

The DG clusters comprise the Directors-General of the same departments as the communication clusters and the same department serves as chair of the cluster. Communication cluster programmes are informed by the decisions of the DG clusters.

The five communication clusters are
