OCHA’s Annual Report for 2019 covers a year where intensifying conflicts, climatic shocks and the spread of infectious diseases drove needs to unprecedented levels.

The report highlights how we helped mobilize US$18 billion for response efforts that it coordinated to target more than 117 million people globally.

The report takes stock of our actions and activities during 2019, highlighting the role of OCHA, Member States, and other UN and civil-society partners in ensuring that the most vulnerable people in crises received timely and quality humanitarian assistance.

The report also provides an update on efforts within OCHA to make it more field focused and decentralized.
