OCHA Office in Lebanon is to support the Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator in his/her endeavour to
ensure a coherent and effective humanitarian response to people in need in Lebanon within the context of
the Syrian crisis, and in line with the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan. Specifically, the CO’s objectives are to (1)
enhance coordination mechanisms at the strategic level, in support of the HC and the HCT to improve planning
and monitoring of a joint-up response across all sectors; (2) strengthen situational awareness in a fluid context
as well as the analysis of humanitarian needs, gaps and response; (3) mobilize flexible, predictable
humanitarian funding and (4) advocate for improved protection and humanitarian access. OCHA maintains a
presence in Beirut with frequent travel to field locations and will, in the course of 2015 establish antennas in
the north and the Bekaa.
