The Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS) was updated over a two-year process 2022-2024 to ensure the commitments made to people affected by crisis and experiencing vulnerability are relevant and more accessible to a wider range of aid organisations. The Global launch took place in Geneva in March 2024, with a series of country launches held over the course of the year. Dóchas is delighted to host the Irish country launch.
