The Crisis Response Team (CRT) is the Country Office (CO) mechanism to perform day-to-day crisis response activities, supporting the UNDP Senior Management to achieve the response objectives. The size and composition of the CRT are flexible to allow rapid scale-up and scale-down and any further adjustment based on changing response needs. While surge advisors deployed as part of the crisis response are integrated into CO teams and / or the response programme, they might also be part of the CRT depending on their role and profile.
