The People In Aid Code

This publication is an updated guideline on support, safety and management of aid personnel. It provides a code to be used as a tool to help agencies offer better development aid and disaster relief to communities in need, and is an important part of their efforts to improve standards, accountability and transparency amid the challenges of disaster, conflict and poverty.As well as building on previous guidelines, the Code reflects the growing attention of aid groups on issues of health and safety, diversity and equality, and is relevant for agencies engaged in development and advocacy as well as emergency response.The revised People In Aid Code:enshrines the overarching principle that "people are central to the achievement of our mission"aims to improve the quality of assistance provided by international and host country staffoffers agencies the best framework for effective human resources management, helping them assess and raise their performanceThe Code comprises seven principles: health, safety and security; learning, training and development; recruitment and selection; consultation and communication; support, management and leadership; staff policies and practices; and human resources strategy. Each of the seven principles is qualified by a number of indicators.Recognised "kitemarks" are awarded to agencies that are implementing the Code. The "kitemarks" reflect the agency’s commitment and achievement, the latter being verified through a "social audit" process involving staff and other stakeholders.
