Humanitarian Accountability Partnership

The Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) "is striving to make humanitarian action accountable to its intended beneficiaries: those people whose lives are at risk due to armed conflict or other calamitous events.

"The launch of HAP in 2003 followed many years of consultation, research and negotiation within the humanitarian system. HAP is a partnership of member agencies that share a commitment to making humanitarian action accountable to disaster survivors. At the heart of this endeavour lies HAP´s Principles of Accountability.The members of HAP seek to comply with and promote these principles through capacity-building, self-regulation, quality assurance certification and advocacy."
