When organisations are more accountable to the people they serve, they deliver higher quality, more effective aid.
We advise, guide and train organisations to:
- Be accountable to affected people (AAP)
- Protect against sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (PSEAH) and
- Better manage people
The Core Humanitarian Standard provides the framework and we assist organisations to apply this standard, to verify performance against its nine commitments, and to improve over time.
