The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) is part of the UN Secretariat, established in December 1991 to succeed the Office of the United Nations Disaster Relief Coordinator. Its primary role is to coordinate global humanitarian response efforts, mobilize aid, share crucial information, develop policies, secure funding, and advocate for the rights of crisis-affected communities.
Operating in numerous crisis-affected regions, UN OCHA ensures a rapid and effective response to both natural disasters and complex emergencies. Their expert team works globally to support and protect those in need, ensuring the humanitarian system remains accountable and efficient.
