Localisation and the Core Humanitarian Standard
Online
In the past few years, interest in the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS) and verification has significantly grown and today the Standard is widely recognised as a measurable framework that sets out the essential elements for principled humanitarian action. However, if we want to meet the commitments to people affected by crisis that the Standard clearly sets out, the CHS needs to be widely applied by national and local organisations – those who are closest to the people and communities affected by crises – as well as international organisations.
We are, therefore, reinforcing our efforts to make sure the CHS is applied as closely as possible to people and communities affected by crisis.
National and local CHS Alliance member organisations are invited to participate in an online member-only workshop on 1 March 2021 11:00 – 12:30 (CET) to share their perspectives and discuss the Alliance’s plans to get the CHS and CHS Alliance closer to the people affected.
