The Santiago network secretariat is co-hosted by UNDRR and UNOPS (as per decision 6/CMA.5, endorsed by decision 2/CP.28) as agreed with Parties in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The dedicated secretariat will have a lean, cost-effective organizational structure. The host will also create regional presence through UN offices that will serve as designated units to catalyse technical assistance in developing countries. 

The consortium will provide in-kind support for the effective functioning of the Santiago network. Support will also be provided to the Advisory Board, ensuring that it can meet and conduct its work in a timely manner.
