Annual report 2017

The CHS Alliance is a membership organisation. Our members share a commitment to the key role of quality and accountability, and collectively demonstrate it to affected communities, staff and donors. Together, we form a movement that puts crisis-affected people and communities at the centre of our action.

At the end of 2017, the CHS Alliance had 179 member organisations, of whom 159 are full members and 20 are associate members. Four of the full members are global networks – ActionAid, CARE, Oxfam and Save the Children – and, together, they have 82 affiliates.

In 2017 the uptake of the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS) has been steadily on the rise. It is fair to say that it has become a common reference point in flagship documents and reports.
