OCHA & the Humanitarian Ecosystem
OCHA can quickly deploy specialized humanitarian personnel to support efforts on the ground, particularly in situations where local capacity is overwhelmed, in response to a new or escalating humanitarian crisis.
Response to new humanitarian emergencies may come from a range of organizations and actors. These include governments, the United Nations system, international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the Red Cross/Red Crescent movement. They also include specialists in the different aspects of humanitarian response, such as search and rescue operations.
