Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response

The "Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response" reflect the "determination of agencies (involved in emergency responses) to improve, both the effectiveness of their assistance and their accountability to their stakeholders” (THE SPHERE PROJECT 2011). Since their creation in the 90’s, the Sphere Standards have “today been applied as the de facto standards in humanitarian response in the 21st century” (THE SPHERE PROJECT 2011). The third edition was published in 2011.
