Sphere Project 2017

Projet terminé

Sphere has been the leading supporter of humanitarian standards since 1997. Over nearly two decades, the Sphere project standards have evolved into a common language across the humanitarian sector with a set of minimum standards guiding humanitarian assistance. Sphere is also a force for collaboration among quality and accountability initiatives.

Contexte It is widely recognized that humanitarian actors need to be more accountable for what they do, humanitarian assistance needs to be principled and standardized to ensure the most timely and effective assistance in each humanitarian response. In humanitarian action, globally, there is an acknowledgement that not doing so often results in programmes that fail to adequately address priority needs.
Objectifs Sphere’s goal, through its standards, is to allow all people affected by disaster or conflict to re-establish their lives and recover their livelihoods in ways that respect and promote their dignity.
Groupes cibles All humanitarian practitioners and stakeholders
Effets à moyen terme Sphere by 2020 sets about to transform Sphere from a project into a vigorous, deeply connected network of practitioners and organisations which will act as a global catalyst for humanitarian quality and accountability.
