ADMINISTERING COORDINATION MECHANISMS AND TOOLS   Humanitarian coordination is based on the belief that a coherent approach to emergency response will maximize its benefits and minimize its potential pitfalls - in short, that the whole will be greater that the sum of its parts. Through approved structures and policies set out by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, OCHA carries out its coordination role by: Providing direct support to the Coordination and Response Division (CRD) and the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) in her role as principal adviser on humanitarian issues to the Secretary-General and coordinator of the international humanitarian response. Providing support and guidance to UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinators in the field on complex emergency and natural disaster matters. Providing support to the field, including through the management of OCHA’s Regional and Field Offices and other supporting mechanisms, such as the support to Humanitarian Reform, including the cluster approach, CERF grants, and emergency cash grants
