The Humanitarian Coordinator[1] is the senior-most United Nations official in a country experiencing a humanitarian emergency. The Humanitarian Coordinator is appointed by the United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator when a new emergency occurs or an existing humanitarian situation "worsens in degree and/or complexity".[2]
In most cases, the function is performed by the United Nations Resident Coordinator.
The Humanitarian Coordinator[3] is supported in almost every case by a local OCHA Office.
