Inter-Agency Standing Committee

The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) is a group that brings together key organizations involved in humanitarian response, including the United Nations and various NGOs. Established to improve coordination during crises, it ensures that assistance reaches those in need effectively and efficiently. The IASC develops guidelines, shares information, and collaborates on strategies to respond to emergencies, such as natural disasters or conflicts. Its goal is to ensure that humanitarian efforts are well-coordinated and that the needs of affected populations are prioritized. This cooperation helps to deliver timely and adequate support in challenging situations.
