Noticeboard - Aceh 2005
"If the majority of aid agencies responding to the tsunami had in fact been able to draw on and apply the HAP standards, then I have no doubt that the quality and impact of the response would have been enormously improved.
I am delighted that this is now a possibility and that the next generation of disaster survivors will be even better served by humanitarian agencies."
