Resilience to future shocks: Unlocking the power of the Humanitarian Standards Partnership, online and inperson, HNPW, Switzerland, 24 March 2025

Come to a 30-minute hybrid presentation and let leading experts unlock the power of the Humanitarian Standards Partnership for you!

For those attending HNPW in-person: This will be followed by the chance to play “The HSP Challenge Boardgame” with our team of HSP experts and facilitators. Discover how humanitarian standards can help you respond to real-life disaster situations.

The Humanitarian Standards Partnership (HSP) improves the quality and accountability of humanitarian action through the promotion of humanitarian standards. Hosted by Sphere, the HSP covers crucial aspects of emergency response, including education, livestock, crops, camp management, child protection, cash, markets, and the inclusion of older people and people with disabilities.

The HSP offers training, tools, and practical guidance for a harmonised approach to working with standards. This enables frontline aid-workers to know, understand and implement humanitarian standards as easily as possible in crisis situations.

The collective guidance represents many years of application and learning by thousands of leading experts and practitioners, and provides a strong rights-based framework that empowers local actors to lead humanitarian response and ensures proper contextualization of preparedness and response.
