Haiti earthquake HAP NEP summary of points - 2nd February 2010

Attachments

Following the Haiti earthquake approximately 19 HAP members are undertaking humanitarian operations either directly or through partners. Given the magnitude and context of this emergency there are likely to be many opportunities and challenges to ensuring both quality and accountability (Q&A) as part of the response. Building on efforts already made by DanChurchAid as part of the ACT Alliance in initiating a 3-week capacity building and scoping deployment for a Quality and Accountability Support Team, HAP called a telecon as part of our New Emergencies Policy. This was aimed to build on the commitment of HAP member agencies and jointly explore options for ensuring that Q&A is given due focus as part of this large response.
