Beneficiary Reference Group - Tearfund Kenya

"Why should we become a member of HAP? What do we get out of it? It is important to exercise leadership within the humanitarian sector. We must convince each other and the outside world that we do not shy away from monitoring and reporting. This new organization will provide the right forum for achieving accountability standards together."

Raymond Johansen, former Secretary General, Norwegian Refugee Council (Flyktningerådet)
