Membership
Whether your organisation is a community based agency, a major international NGO or a United Nations specialised agency, membership of HAP places your organisation on the fast-track to HAP certification, and recognition as being compliant with the foremost global standard for assuring the quality of humanitarian action.
The HAP Standard in Humanitarian Accountability and Quality Management is the most widely recognised humanitarian programme management norm for achieving the best possible humanitarian outcomes for all stakeholders. Rooted in extensive research and consultation, the HAP Standard sets six affordable, realistic and results-critical benchmarks for ensuring that it is the needs of disaster survivors that drive humanitarian action.

"The best thing of all is that the office of Tearfund is here. In some projects which have been coming to interview people and maybe give them some help, people normally don't know where to meet the staff, they only see them once when the project leaders come, conduct something, and then they go but with Tearfund the office is just near and people can contact then there and the feedback is normally very easy to receive - that's the best part of it."
