Descripción: United Nations.
«OCHA was established to facilitate the work of operational agencies that deliver humanitarian assistance to populations and communities in need. The UN Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) has the overall responsibility for ensuring coherence of relief efforts in the field. OCHA supports the HC in needs assessment, contingency planning and the formulation of humanitarian programmes. OCHA also provides response tools, advocacy and information services. The head of OCHA, as Emergency Relief Coordinator, chairs the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), which comprises all major humanitarian actors, including the Red Cross Movement and three non-governmental organizations (NGO) consortiums.»
