🌍 Today marks a pivotal moment in aid efforts worldwide as we launch a stronger Core Humanitarian Standard, placing crisis-affected individuals and communities at the forefront of our work.

The discussion is underway! The proposed updated CHS is out for consultation. Looking forward to hearing opinions from the crowd in Geneva today #shapetheCHS

Thanks The New Humanitarian for the support in pushing for greater accountability.

Thank you Martin Griffiths for @HAR report's Co-Foreward with Gloria Soma Titi Foundation

'claiming to help without listening isn't in line with our principles. Not just unaccountable, its pushy and privileged'

Thanks for your commitment to #Accountability as non negotiable

Important journalism that shows yet another failure of aid actors to honour the commitments made to people in crisis.

#DemandAccountability

Timely considerations - thank you CWS-Asia/Pacific. CHS Alliance is committed to making sure all orgs can hold themselves accountable to the Commitments they have made in the CHS to people in crisis. Look forward to HERE - Geneva work to review the CHS Verification Scheme.

Yesterday's @bbc documentary on #whistleblowers was a stark reminder of the work needed for greater #accountability in all organisations. So much more to be done to challenge the power dynamics we all operate in

Kudos Martina Brostrom

'At the core of any #abuse allegation is not the impact on the #reputation of an organisation, but a woman, a child or a man whose life is impacted forever.'

How to put the #rights & #dignity of victims at the front of preventing & responding to sexual exploitation & abuse in humanitarian work?

Final thoughts from today's #CHSExchange2021 panel:

👉need #empathy not tickboxes
👉invest in the how, not just the what
👉 #nothingaboutuswithoutus is never 'done'
👉to make a real shift in the #humanitarian world, we must nurture what is #possible . Not just what is probable.

Our fantastic CHS Alliance Board members, Robert Sweatman British Red Cross 🧡 and Rehema Kajungu TPO Uganda open the #CHSExchange2021 . They give a strong call to action for more organisations to verify how they are meeting the #chs commitments so we can #raisethestandard

'What we must address is that the #power structures that govern humanitarian response still engage people affected by #crisis as passive recipients, rather than a force in shaping their own priorities and plans. Rehema Kajungu, Deputy-Director TPO Uganda & CHS Alliance Board member

Another stark call to action that we need to do far more to ensure that the power of 'doing good' cannot mask abuses of power in our organisations.

Thanks for the reporting May Jeong

We want to hear from members, partners, donors, collaborators & all those who share our vision to #MakeAidWork better for people.

I need the aid world to understand this. I need you to carry this torch bc we need you. Perpetrators,there is an s, it’s plural, not just my father, victims, plural and not all survivors :(
There are too many real humanitarians to let those kind of men get away with it

Considerations in Prospect on the challenges we have to tackle.

Join us today at the CHS Alliance Global Gathering to explore these challenges of care, culture and power in the aid sector

#Accountability in the #humanitarian system:

In what way does the idea of an independent commission differ from the #ombudsman concept that followed the Joint Evaluation of Emergency Assistance to Rwanda in the late 90s?

Thanks as ever Meg Sattler for your insights..

Accountability is key. Active listening is key. But why reinvent the wheel? The Core Humanitarian Standard #CHS puts people at the centre and independent audits against the CHS are... #independent . A practical existing solution HQAI.

We re keen to hear the Martin Griffiths proposal. Members of CHS Alliance have voluntarily put themselves through scrutiny by verifying against the CHS, but far more is needed to promote this accountability system wide...
