📢We hosted the first launch of the #UpdatedCHS at Dadu in #Pakistan this week. 21 national and local humanitarian and development practitioners from 12 civil society, NGO and government organisations participated in this launch.

As steering committee member of the #CHS revision process,Shama reiterates that ‘All stakeholders in the sector have a responsibility to ensure accountability to affected communities & CHS is a universal standard that helps organizations achieve this.Let’s renew this commitment’.

💡Why the #CHSMatters ?
CWSA is excited to be on the panel at the launch of updated Core Humanitarian Standard.
'Collaborative partnerships & collective commitment is absolutely essential to derive change towards greater #accountability ,' Shama, CWSA director & #CHSA board member.

'The CHS has played an instrumental role in getting organizations to commit to being more accountable to the communities we serve.Based on our experiences of using the CHS,we have all had the opportunity to contribute to an updated standard that meets current needs.' Shama Mall

The revised CHS is simpler, we need to use this standard to enable agents of change, calls Shama Mall, CWS Asia at the global launch of the revised CHS.
