Synergie Qualité
Basic information
- Host or sponsor: Umbrella organisation
- Type: Self-Assessment
- Year established: 2005
- Status: Active
- Thematic area: Humanitarian / emergency relief
- Summary: The Guide is an multidimensional approach to evaluate the quality of humanitarian actions. It is a comprehensive set of principles and methods grouped into five thematic areas: humanitarian ethics (humanity, impartiality and independence), NGO governance, human resources management, the project cycle (using the COMPAS Qualité methodology) and participation of affected populations. This approach is context sensitive since it prioritizes questions to ask oneself rather than responses to apply whatever the context. The aim of the Synergie Qualité approach is to help NGOs implement their own ‘quality approach’. The guide is in the process of being translated into english.
