I joined the HQAI community as a member of the advisory and complaints board in June 2022.
I’m a firm believer in standard setting and certification as a means by which humanitarian organisations can be accountable to affected populations for the work they do. When the quality of an organisation’s work so vitally important as we know it is in the humanitarian setting, it’s not enough to simply mean well. Organisations need to ensure their work meets the highest possible benchmark, and the work of HQAI helps both these organisations and their stakeholders to understand whether this is happening and to be accountable for the results.
The community of specialists that make up HQAI, the Board and the ACB are experts in their respective field. Together, they form an unstoppable force for quality and accountability that’s focused entirely on this work. HQAI is the only organisation I work with where the verification against standards is the only work the organisation undertakes. This allows HQAI to be really focused and clear about what matters, quality and accountability. I was delighted to be asked to join such a field of passionate people.
