The Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability sets out Nine Commitments that organisations and individuals involved in humanitarian response can use to improve the quality and effectiveness of the assistance they provide.

To do so, organisations can use one of the options of the CHS Verification Scheme to measure their performance against the CHS and making improvements on areas where they are most needed.

Now we have a dedicated platform, the CHS Commitment Tracker which makes it easier for individual organisations to manage their CHS Self-Assessments and to use the results. It will also give greater recognition to members that have completed any of the three verification options.

The platform offers you:

  • Trends in accountability: Gain valuable, data-driven insights into global accountability trends, to increase knowledge and inform your decision-making.

  • Start your Verification Journey: Learn how to initiate your verification journey, equipping your organisation with the tools and knowledge needed to conduct an assessment and develop an improvement plan.  
  •  Join the CHS Alliance: Explore opportunities to join the CHS Alliance, the global network of humanitarian and development organisations commmited to making aid work better for people.  

Harmonised Reporting Scheme

As part of our broader commitment to accountability, the CHS Alliance, together with the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response, established the Harmonised Reporting Scheme (HRS), to support greater accountability and transparency around sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment in the aid sector. The Scheme enables organisations to report non-identifiable SEAH incident data through a secure platform, helping build a clearer picture of trends, risks and gaps across, as well as providing recommendations and practical guidance.

The HRS is open to any organisation operating in the aid sector (non governmental organisation – international or national, private sector organisations, civil society organisations).

Learn more about the Scheme, access resources and find out how to join on our HRS webpage.
