Standards
The four humanitarian principles
The principles that guide our humanitarian work, from assessing needs to making programme decisions.
Humanity
Protecting life and dignity
We act to relieve suffering wherever it is found, and to protect life and health.
Impartiality
Assistance guided by need
We assess and respond on the basis of need alone — not ethnicity, religion, politics or any other distinction.
Neutrality
Taking no side in conflict
We do not take sides in hostilities or engage in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
Independence
Humanitarian objectives first
Our programme decisions are our own, and are not subordinated to the political or military objectives of any party.
Principle symbols: custom EVAN illustrations.
Transparency
What we publish, and when
We have not yet completed a reporting cycle. Rather than leave that unsaid, this is the schedule we hold ourselves to — and this table is updated as each item is published.
Protection from harm
Safeguarding and PSEA
We are committed to protection from sexual exploitation and abuse. Every member of staff and every volunteer is bound by a code of conduct, and any report is investigated.
This commitment applies from our first day of operations, not from our first incident.
The policy
Raising a concern
Complaints and feedback
Anyone may raise a concern about our conduct or the conduct of our staff, including anonymously. Concerns are received by a named member of staff and are not shared with the team a complaint is about.
