Over the reporting period OCHA has increased its focus on advocacy to improve humanitarian access. The proportion of OCHA country offices with an access monitoring framework increased from 55% in 2017 to 86% in 2022. Further, OCHA has invested in increased accountability towards affected populations. In 2018, OCHA launched a new collective accountability framework, to strengthen how agencies ensure decisions are driven by the views of the affected communities. In the next coming years, OCHA has strived to increased the number of HCTs developing action plans on accountability towards affected populations. To advance on the efforts to increase accountability towards affected people, the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) has made this to a key priority of the Strategic Plan 2023-2026 and though the ERC Flagship Programme. The funding mobilised for the humanitarian response plans (HRPs) has continued to increase. However, the funding needs has increased at a higher rate, resulting in a growing proportion of HPRs being underfunded. In 2022 less than 15% of the HRPs were funded at more than 75%, a drop from 19% in 2017. The discrepancy of the funding needs and the actual funding mobilised by the humanitarian system has continued to grow over the reporting period. This is currently being addressed in a number of ways, including increased efforts for catalytic fundraising and setting of stricter boundaries for HRP funding targets underpinned by more comprehensive framework on needs analysis (JIAF 2.0). In 2021 OCHA and its partners achieved the following results: - Provided the annual global analysis that predicted that 237 million people were in need of humanitarian assistance 2021 and out that need, 107 million people received humanitarian assistance. - Mobilized 20 billion USD for humanitarian assistance. - Prepared national humanitarian overviews and humanitarian response plans, coordinates the humanitarian country teams and clusters in some 20 crises. - Managed pooled funds in 20 countries. - Managed the Reliefweb and provided up to date information to more than 19 million users. - Exercised its thought leadership and developed thinking and policies on for example anticipatory action. It contributed to a scale up of anticipatory action (AA), conducted AA pilots and financed such projects within the frame of CERF and CBPF. They also arranged a high level event to advance AA were fifteen countries made financial pledges to anticipatory action. It has also established an agreement with the African Risk Capacity to collaborate on developing anticipatory insurance policies in a selection of countries. - Strengthened women's agency and leadership in humanitarian assistance mainly through engagement of women-led organisation in Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) processes in Ethiopia, Myanmar, Palestine, Syria and Yemen. 35 million usd was available to women-led organisations. The gender standby capacity project deployed 22 experts in 20 crises. The Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) convened a high level event on gender based violence (GBV) to address funding gaps which led to a dedicated GBV page in the financing tracking system to track actual investments. - Continued to excersice its coordination function through the Inter-Agency Standing Committee. One main result was the development of the System-Wide Emergency Activation Procedures, referred to as a the Scale up in Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Mocambique. - Supported the HCT to develop an accountability to affected populations action plans in CAR, DRC, Indonesia, Syria cross-border crisis and in Uganda. - Developed a new standard operating procedures for sexual misconduct. In 2022 OCHA and its partners achieved the following results: - OCHA maintained a presence in the field to support a coordinated humanitarian response though operating 5 regional offices, 29 country offices, 21 humanitarian adviser teams and 5 liaison offices. These offices filled different functions, including supporting Governments and RC/HCs in coordinating responses, developing common needs assessments and response plans, provide up-to-date information on the humanitarian situation, advocate for access and protection needs, track resources and monitor responses. - OCHA deployed 576 physical staff (46% female) and 223 remote surge staff to support its operations. - Scaled up the humanitarian response in Ukraine following through coordination of surge and development of a humanitarian response plan which donors responded with almost $3.7 billion.
