This note clarifies leadership and coordination arrangements in the situation where a complex humanitarian emergency or natural disaster is taking place, a Humanitarian Coordinator has been appointed, and a UNHCR-led refugee operation is also underway. The detailed accountabilities, roles and responsibilities of the Humanitarian Coordinator and the UNHCR Representative are outlined in their respective Terms of Reference. This note describes how leadership and coordination mechanisms should function in practice. The objective is to ensure that coordination is streamlined, complementary and mutually reinforcing, and to avoid duplication at the delivery level.
