Putting humanitarian standards and guidelines in one place

A simple site design, JointStandards.org was developed in response to the needs of agency staff worldwide to have easy access to information on humanitarian standards. The site uses very low bandwidth so that it can be accessed easily by those working in areas of low-connectivity.

As well as the website, HAP, the Sphere Project and People In Aid have collaborated in a Joint Standards Initiative .
