Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is a United Nations organisation that was formed in December 1991 from General Assembly Resolution 46/182. The resolution was designed to strengthen the UN response to complex emergencies and natural disasters by creating the Department of Humanitarian Affairs (DHA), and replacing the Office of the United Nations Disaster Relief Coordinator, which had been formed in 1972.
