The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) is a unique forum that brings together key humanitarian partners to improve the effectiveness of humanitarian response. Established in 1991, it includes organizations such as the United Nations and various non-governmental organizations, ensuring a coordinated approach to humanitarian crises. The IASC aims to enhance collaboration among its members, streamline decision-making, and promote accountability in humanitarian actions. By working together, the IASC helps to ensure that assistance reaches those in need during emergencies, such as natural disasters or conflicts, ultimately saving lives and alleviating suffering.
