IASC Event on SCHR's Certification Review - What are We Learning from the First Two Field
Geneva
Venue in NY: DC2-13th floor Conference Room
The Certification Review project which was initiated in October 2012 by the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response (SCHR) to explore the relevance and feasibility of certification for humanitarian organisations as a means to demonstrate application of humanitarian principles, and promote improved quality, accountability and effectiveness of aid efforts has just carried out its first two field based pilots: one in Ethiopia, hosted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church’s Development and Inter Church Aid Commission (DICAC), a member of the ACT Alliance, and one in Pakistan hosted by Save the Children. Philip Tamminga, the project coordinator, will provide an update on findings from these pilots, as well as provide on feedback received on the version 2 of the model to open discussion on some of the implications of these findings. The Ethiopia pilot report is available on the SCHR website at www.schr.info. The Pakistan pilot report will be released on 6 May.
