Strategic Partnerships

Challenges

People responding to crisis need easy access to cross-sectoral standards and guidance to ensure quality and accountability.

Providers of standards and guidance need to learn from one another and pool resources.

Activities

Sphere works in partnership with other standard-setting initiatives and actors to ensure harmonized, simplified standards are the foundation of humanitarian response.

Sphere hosts the HSP and supports new and established providers of standards and guidance.

Outcomes

People responding to crisis have streamlined access to all humanitarian standards appropriate to their context and stage of response.

The Humanitarian Standards Partnership (HSP) is a leading authority on humanitarian standards.
