The IASC Working Group is composed of the directors of the Emergency Programmes of the IASC agencies or their equivalent counterparts.

It meets in regular intervals three times a year, usually in March, June / July, and November alternating between Rome, Geneva and New York for two and half days, hosted by IASC agencies on a rotational basis.

The Working Group is chaired by the Director of the OCHA office in Geneva Mr. Kasidis Rochanakorn. Supported by the IASC Secretariat, he is responsible for the preparation of issues, consultations and follow-up actions.
