Empowerment for Development (ED) is formally joined the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) Alliance. The CHS Alliance is a global alliance of humanitarian and development organisation committed to making aid work better for people. The Alliance was formed in 2015 by bringing together the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) International, which focused on accountability to affected people, and People in Aid, which focused on people management in the humanitarian aid and development sectors. We are headquartered in Geneva and maintain a presence in London.

We are proud to be a member of the CHS, a network that supports quality and accountability in humanitarian action by promoting the development and cross sectoral use of standards.
