The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs coordinates global humanitarian response to save lives, protect people and support communities in crisis. Based in New York City, United States, it works with partners in more than 50 countries to make humanitarian action faster, more focused, more efficient and more locally led. Its teams operate alongside national and local frontline responders to ensure aid reaches those in greatest need. OCHA consolidates the humanitarian system's efforts by identifying critical needs, planning responses and coordinating action to keep aid predictable, prioritized and principled. It negotiates access, supports relief operations, shares vital information and advocates for civilians, aid workers and the infrastructure that sustains people during conflict, climate disasters, disease outbreaks and displacement. Data and analysis are central to its work as the information hub for crisis data, and recent partnerships, such as a collaboration with Meta to improve access to timely population data, reflect ongoing efforts to strengthen data-driven decision making.
