Humanitarian Accountability Partnership International
Humanitarian Accountability Partnership International (HAP International), established in 2003, is the humanitarian sector's first international self-regulatory body. A multi-agency initiative working to improve the accountability of humanitarian action to people affected by disasters and other crises, HAP members range from organisations working in emergency relief, development activities, as well as other quality and accountability organisations and institutional donors. The organisation aims to strengthen accountability towards those affected by crisis situations and to facilitate improved performance within the humanitarian sector. The ultimate goal of the organisation is to uphold the rights and the dignity of crisis-affected populations across the world.

Famous quotes containing the words humanitarian and/or partnership:
“Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Are we bereft of citizenship because we are mothers, wives and daughters of a mighty people? Have women no country—no interests staked in public weal—no liabilities in common peril—no partnership in a nation’s guilt and shame?”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
