The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ (OCHA) primary mandate is to oversee the coordination of international humanitarian responses, in partnership with national and international actors, in order to achieve more coherent and effective humanitarian action. This grant represents Canada’s country-level support to OCHA in Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen. This grant also includes Canada’s regional support to OCHA in Africa, Asia, and the Venezuela Crisis.
