The earthquake happened 17km south-west of Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Donors pledged about US$5.3 billion for the next 18 months in support of Haiti’s recovery and reconstruction plans. Figures from the latest Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) identified 1,373 settlement sites in Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, Leogane, Petit and Grande Goave, which was considerably higher than initial estimates. Of these identified sites, only 289 had Camp Management agencies present, thus registering an overall coverage rate of 21%. Some 411,090 households (2,090,877 individuals) are estimated to be displaced. The Shelter cluster remains on target for delivering 2 tarpaulins per family by 01 May. Cluster members have reached over 90% of the known caseload of 1.5 million people in need of emergency shelter materials. As of 5 April, 1,857,372 beneficiaries have received assistance by WFP through the general food distribution (GFD) since 6 March, reaching a total of 16,345 MT. FAO and partners has distributed seeds and tools to over 9,000 farming families in the earthquakeaffected communes of Leogane, Petit Goave, Grand Goave, Gressier, Jacmel, Cayes Jacmel and Marigot. The official date for the reopening of schools in the areas most affected by the earthquake in the West Department was 05 April. The reopening will be done progressively with UNICEF supporting the Ministry of Education to reopen a first phase of 611 priority schools benefiting 200,000 children. Health partners are reporting an increase in suspected malaria. In view of the rainy season, longlasting bed nets are required for 1.4 million people. About 937,000 have been ordered and distributions are ongoing. -> OCHA Who/What/Where Contact List: http://3w.unocha.org/WhoWhatWhere/contactReportFwt1.php?uSite=ocha_haiti_earthquake&repId=10 --------------------------------- The following can be viewed/printed/downloaded at the link listed below: -Projects By Sector/Cluster, Admin -Projects By Sector/Cluster, Organization -Projects By Admin, Sector -Projects By Admin, Organization -Projects Details by Sector/Cluster, Admin -Project Details By Sector/Cluster,Admin [Report includes Project Status,Description] -Project Details By Admin, Sector/Cluster -Project Details By Admin, Sector/Cluster [Report includes Project Status,Description] -List of NGOs [Report includes Project Status,Description] -Projects with Implementing Partners -Projects Report with Beneficiary Data -Project Details By Sector/Cluster http://3w.unocha.org/WhoWhatWhere/reports.php?uSite=ocha_na_ht&tabId=a2 -------------------------------------- On 12 January, a powerful earthquake of 7.0 magnitude (USGS) on the Richter Scale affected Haiti , at 16.53hrs local time (GMT 21.53hrs).

mission: About OCHA OCHA is the arm of the UN Secretariat that is responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure coherent response to emergencies. OCHA also ensures there is a framework within which each actor can contribute to the overall response effort. OCHA's mission is to mobilise and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors in order to alleviate human suffering in disasters and emergencies; advocate for the rights of people in need; promote preparedness and prevention; and facilitate sustainable solutions. History of OCHA In 1991 the General Assembly passed Resolution 46/182 [English version - All official languages]. The Resolution aimed to strengthen the international community’s collective effort, particularly the United Nations System, and to make emergency response more effective. Resolution 46/182 is still in force today and serves as the basis of the OCHA mandate. It outlines fundamental principles governing humanitarian relief. Three important principles are listed below: * Responsibility for people affected by emergency lies – first and foremost - with their respective states * States in need are expected to facilitate the work of responding organizations * Humanitarian assistance must be linked to the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality and impartiality (the fourth principle of independence was added later). OCHA's Coordinating role OCHA mobilizes and coordinates humanitarian assistance delivered by international and national partners to populations and communities in need. Coordination is not one type of action or actions involving one set of actors. Coordination for OCHA means various types of actions involving different set of actors, providing different types of support, using many different tools and mechanisms. The USG-ERC is responsible for oversight of all emergencies requiring United Nations humanitarian assistance. He also acts as the central focal point for Governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental relief activities. The ERC also leads the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), a unique inter-agency forum for coordination, policy development and decision-making involving the key UN and non-UN humanitarian partners. The IASC was established in June 1992 in response to Resolution 46/182. General Assembly Resolution 48/57 affirmed its role as the primary mechanism for inter-agency coordination of humanitarian assistance. OCHA and Gender Equality Understanding how conflicts and disasters affect women and men, girls and boys is critical to the overall effectiveness of our humanitarian response. Women, men, girls and boys experience war, floods, earthquakes and displacement differently: they have different priorities, responsibilities and protection needs. All OCHA's field and regional offices are required to develop, implement and report on a Gender Action Plan (GAP). These are based on the office workplan, and outline activities and indicators related to gender. -> About OCHA OCHA is the arm of the UN Secretariat that is responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure coherent response to emergencies.
