The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)

The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) is a global organization made up of key humanitarian agencies, like the UN and Red Cross, working together to coordinate disaster and crisis response. Its goal is to ensure that aid efforts are organized, efficient, and effective, helping affected populations as quickly and smoothly as possible. By promoting collaboration and setting common standards, the IASC improves the delivery of emergency assistance during conflicts, natural disasters, and other crises, ensuring that resources and support reach those in need promptly.
