UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
2024
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is the organization responsible for preparing and deploying humanitarian response when environmental or other crises occur around the world. The organization also houses the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC), a person who works closely with the UN to facilitate aid response. OCHA prepares for humanitarian emergencies and rapidly deploys aid workers to the location of the crisis, ensuring impacted populations receive the help and protection they need.
OCHA produces a flagship report, Global Humanitarian Overview, as well as other publications such as weekly humanitarian updates and recent development reports. The organization also produces a wide array of maps and infographics displaying the impacted number of people and geographic regions. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs also has a news and updates portal, as well as a themes section outlining the projects the organization works on.
