Advocacy

OCHA speaks out on behalf of the people worst affected by humanitarian situations.

• Public: media interview, public speeches, press briefings, Web stories and social media campaigns.

• Private: quiet diplomacy with governments or negotiations with armed groups is also a crucial element in bringing about change, securing access or building support.

Mandate/Mission Statement

Established in 1961 after the 1960 Food and Agriculture Conference. In 1994, WFP was the first UN organisation to adopt a mission statement, which says:

“The policies governing the use of WFP food aid must be orientedtowards the objective of eradicating hunger and poverty. The ultimate objective of food aid

should be the elimination of the need for food aid.”

26

Shipping

More than half of WFP’s food is transported by sea during

its journey to final destination, making

ocean transportation a crucial link in WFP’s supply

chain.

WFP has on any given day 30 ships at sea, carrying

critical humanitarian assistance for distribution in

more than 70 countries – moving cargoes from 60 load ports to 75 discharge ports

across five continents..

Page 30: International Humanitarian Architecture

Surface transport

On any given day, WFP has approximately 5,000 trucks on the road – making land transport the most common form of WFP’s logistical line.

peace

Page 44: International Humanitarian Architecture

Humanitarian Principles HUMANITY

• Human suffering must be addressed wherever it is found,

with particular attention to the

most vulnerable in the population, such as children, women and the elderly. The dignity and rights of all victims must be

respected and protected

NEUTRALITY

• Humanitarian assistance

must be provided without

engaging in hostilities or

taking sides in controversies of a political, religious or ideological

nature.

INDEPENDENCE • Humanitarian action must be autonomous from the political, economic, military or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where

humanitarian action is being implemented

In 1991 GA 46/182 established how the system was to

Page 54: International Humanitarian Architecture

Two reviews of the humanitarian system took place in 2005 and 2011, and led to fundamental reforms focusing on:

• predictability • accountability • leadership• partnership

OCHA

Page 55: International Humanitarian Architecture

What is the Cluster Approach?

OCHA

Page 56: International Humanitarian Architecture

The Cluster Approach is designed to provide:

Predictability, Accountability

and Partnership in all response

sectors

Better support for national-led response tools

Common standards and tools

58

Page 57: International Humanitarian Architecture

Four main groups participate in clusters: 1. UN agencies 2. Bilateral

organizations3. Government entities 4. NGOs (national and

international)

OCHA

Page 58: International Humanitarian Architecture

What benefits do Clusters bring?

1. predictable leadership 2. accountability of

operational partners 3. enhanced partnerships on

the ground4. improved field coordination

OCHA

Page 59: International Humanitarian Architecture

Clusters should be activated in an emergency when there is:

1. a humanitarian need2. a lack of coordination

capacity3. operational complexity 4. need for improved

emergency response

OCHA

Page 60: International Humanitarian Architecture

De-activation of clusters is a decision to stand-down one or several clusters because:

1. either the cluster has transferred responsibility for delivery and capacities to national and/or development partners

2. humanitarian needs in a particular sector have sharply decreased or ceased

3. when the criteria applied to activate a cluster no longer apply

The HCT agrees on common strategic issues related to humanitarian action in-country, including:

1. setting common objectives and priorities

2. developing strategic plans and policies

3. agreeing on the establishment of clusters

OCHA

Page 68: International Humanitarian Architecture

The Cluster Lead Agency (country level) is agreed in consultation with the

HCT and based on the agencies’ coordination

capacity.

OCHA

Page 69: International Humanitarian Architecture

A “cluster lead agency” at country level formally commits to take responsibility for the leadership, coordination and facilitation of a particular sector or technical area.

For example:

1. WHO - Health2. UNICEF/Save the Children -

Education

OCHA

Page 70: International Humanitarian Architecture

• A “cluster lead” acts as the ‘provider of last resort’.

• Where there are critical gaps in humanitarian response, cluster leads call on all relevant humanitarian partners to address these.

• If this fails, then the cluster lead as ‘provider of last resort’ may need to commit itself to filling the gap.

• The ‘provider of last resort’ represents a commitment of cluster leads to ensure an adequate and appropriate response .

The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) defines a ‘complex emergency’ as:

“[A] humanitarian crisis in a country, region, or society where there is a total or considerable breakdown of authority resulting from internal or external conflict and which requires an international response that goes beyond the mandate or capacity of any single

agency and/or the on-going UN country programme.”

Most commonly, this type of interaction is used to convey messages amongst diverse actors in complex emergency.
