Governance and guidance

The overall management of the SCHF is carried out on behalf of the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) and rests with the Deputy Regional Humanitarian Coordinator (DRHC). The DRCH is advised by an Advisory Board and is supported in its daily activities by the OCHA Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU). The overall supervision rests with OCHA Head of Office to ensure adequate and efficient management of the Fund.

The Advisory Board (AB) supports the DRHC in developing an overall strategy and overseeing the performance of the Fund. It advises on strategic and policy issues and ensures the views of donors, UN agencies and the NGO community are represented.
