Humanitarian Standards Partnership

An illustration of four people. One is reading a book. One is looking into the distance. One is holding what could be a map and pointing to something. The last is writing in a notebook.

The Humanitarian Standards Partnership (HSP) aims to improve the quality and
accountability of humanitarian action through the promotion of humanitarian standards.
The HSP offers training, tools, and policy and practical guidance for a harmonised
approach to working with standards.
