Nous sommes très reconnaissants aux orateurs, facilitateurs et participants pour les riches échanges à cet atelier hier qui a discuté l'importance pour les organisations nationales de s'engager avec le #CHS et d'accroitre leur leadership en RD Congo. GRAND MERCI et à bientôt!

[CHS Alliance @CHS_Alliance]

Thank you to all the participants & speakers at today's workshop in the Democratic Republic of Congo, hosted with @OBiferd:

Bringing the #CHS Closer to People Affected by Crisis #DRC

Important discussion on how applying the standard improves quality & accountability!

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

@CHS_Alliance @Bfdyemen @MaviKalem @WFP Thank you to @Bfdyemen, @MaviKalem, @UNFPAYemen for remimding the importance of strong local leadership and the positive impact of the application of the #CHS on the organisation systems and staff to be more accountable to people and improve partnerships between NNGOs and INGOs

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

By having a strong focus on local organisations, the @CHS_Alliance acknowledges the critical role we are playing on the ground said Shama Mall @CWSAsiaPacific at the Alliance strategy webinar today. As local organisations, we have to scale up our representation in the Alliance.

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

This strongly resonates with the #corehumanitarianstandard that supports downward accountability, inclusion, partnership... @CHS_Alliance

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Everywhere, women & girls continue to be largely excluded from the rooms where decisions are taken.

We cannot realise any of our goals without the contributions of all.

That is why everyone – including men & boys – should be working for women’s rights & gender equality. #CSW66

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

@PanosMoumtzis reminded the important of effective accountability to people in his keynote address on "Leading into the future" at #DIHAD. #corehumanitarianstandard helps for downward accountability that we need.

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

Nous aommes à #DIHAD et serons contents de rencontrer si vous êtes aussi ! @ArgentRosa #corehumanitarianstandard

[CHS Alliance @CHS_Alliance]

Are you at #DIHAD? @CHS_Alliance's @bonasokpoh & @ArgentRosa are connecting with orgs from the #MENA region to discuss #accountability & how applying the #CoreHumanitarianStandard delivers people-centred aid. DM us if you would like to meet.

#RaiseTheStandard #MakeAidWork

@YeganaGuliyeva @bonasokpoh @CHS_Alliance @IFRCAfrica @ONGFADniger Thank you for drawing attention to this crucial matter. In Niger 🇳🇪 I found the national expertise in my area of work #SGBV #PSEA and also in #DisasterManagement & more to be extremely competent and I was merely there to assist + learn 😀

[CHS Alliance @CHS_Alliance]

Safe #whistleblowing in #aid work can #protect people from #abuse, stop misuse of #power & avert #corruption.

Staff must be encouraged to #report wrongdoing - so orgs can act on #misconduct.

New @CHS_Alliance guidance on creating #speakup aid cultures: https://t.co/saFB4vXZAs

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

Every time a person is a victim of sexual abuse and cannot report it, it is a failure of the whole humanitarian system. Lack of data makes it difficult to know what is holding back accountability. We need to hold ourselves to account says @MartinaBrostrom at #IHSAconference

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

The Covid19 has put everyone on the same equality in terms of fear but revealed the inequality in access to vaccines. We need alliance to defeat covid. Local orgs, cultural mediators and social scientists played an important role. This resonates with Commitment 3 and 4 of the CHS

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]

Trois éléments clés dans la discussion ce matin: les standards aident à progresser, des examples d'application des standards dans chaque context mérites d'être valorisés, la consideration des pouvoirs existants des acteurs locaux dans leur diversité est impérative. A suivre ...

[Bonaventure Sokpoh @bonasokpoh]
