Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative - HQAI

The Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative (HQAI) is an independent, not-for-profit and non-governmental auditor for the humanitarian and development sector. It was founded in 2015 to provide independent third-party quality assurance services to organisations working with vulnerable and at-risk communities. HQAI's objective is to help organisations progress and show their effectiveness in delivering recognised humanitarian standards. Its quality assurance services are intended to build capacity in the sector and provide consistent measurable data in the delivery of quality action, thus improving principled, accountable, efficient provision of aid to populations affected by crises.
