OCHA is the arm of the UN Secretariat responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure coherent responses to emergencies. OCHA also ensures that there is a framework within which each actor can contribute to the overall response effort.

OCHA's mission is to mobilise and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors in order to alleviate human suffering in disasters and emergencies; advocate for the rights of people in need; promote preparedness and prevention; and facilitate sustainable solutions.
