The HAP International Secretariat commits to the People in Aid Code of Good Practice
In December 2009, the HAP International Secretariat made a formal commitment to implement the People in Aid Code of Good Practice. In essence this means the Secretariat will use the People in Aid Code as a management tool and as a reference for the continuous improvement of our human resources policies and practices.
As set out in the 2010-2011 workplan, the HAP International Secretariat will strive to implement the People in Aid Code from 2010, and then seek to achieve verified compliant status in 2011.
"To my mind the stand out success of the Lanka Tsunami program was "Accountability". It was obvious from the quantitative and qualitative evaluation data that the ops teams learned from, and worked hard to, include accountability standards into each implementation stage resulted in far greater community satisfaction and ownership with outputs. It was great to see happy stakeholders with realistic expectations being met rather than just people who woke up one day with a house, latrine or well (somewhat begrudgingly in some cases)."
