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.
