How we support you

Accountability to Affected People

Accountability towards affected people (AAP) is the process of using power responsibly. AAP is taking account of, and being held accountable by, different stakeholders, primarily those who are affected by the exercise of such power.

Organisational culture and People Management

To best serve those affected by crisis, humanitarian workers must be treated fairly and equitably, and also supported to do their jobs effectively. Their organisations strive for cultures of open communication in which feedback and complaints are welcomed and acted upon.

Verification against the CHS

Measuring your performance through the CHS verification scheme helps you learn the extent to which accountability standards have been incorporated into your work and highlights which areas you might consider improving.

Protection from sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment

We all have a part to play in protecting those affected by crisis from exploitation, abuse and harassment. Our members are at the forefront of efforts to reduce the incidence of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment.

Community of Practice

Our Community of Practice (CoP) is a place for CHS Alliance members to come together to exchange and learn from each other on good practices or challenges they are encountering related to the Core Humanitarian Standard.

Training

The CHS Alliance training offer focuses on the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability and on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) as well as Investigating allegations of SEA.
