Responsibility and Quality Assurance<\/h1>\n\n\n

Oxfam Denmark takes responsibility through our values and policies, which all employees are informed about to ensure they can adhere to them. Through standards and procedures, we can ensure the quality of our work and activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On this page, you can read about our humanitarian work and the international commitments and standards we adhere to, ensuring that we continuously hold ourselves accountable and challenge ourselves to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Commitments, Principles, and Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most fundamental human right is the right to life. Through international humanitarian law, principles, and standards, we are committed to acting when people\u2019s lives, health, and livelihoods are at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why the protection of crisis-affected communities is central to our work. Our humanitarian efforts are designed to ensure safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continuously work to integrate social, economic, and climate sustainability into our humanitarian responses and to ensure that the communities we support are able to hold us accountable. To achieve this, we have developed internal systems and signed external agreements that measure our efforts, require accountability, and constantly push us to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, Oxfam Denmark is committed to upholding:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charter for Change<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response (Sphere).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Ensure Accountability and Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here you can learn more about how we ensure accountability and quality in our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxfam Denmark\u2019s Guidelines and Policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is essential for Oxfam that all employees are familiar with the organization\u2019s guidelines and policies, and understand how they are expected to act and contribute to an open, respectful, and transparent work environment, free from abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, all employees are required to read through our Code of Conduct policy when they begin their employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Humanitarian Standard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oxfam Denmark\u2019s international humanitarian work has since 2018 been certified against the Core Humanitarian Standard by the Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative (HQAI<\/a>). HQAI is an independent organization that certifies humanitarian and development organizations worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Core<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Core Humanitarian Standard<\/strong> helps Oxfam assess the quality, transparency, and accountability of our humanitarian programs and projects, as well as continuously improve our efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The certification is a recognition of our humanitarian work and demonstrates that we meet the high standards required within the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming certified under the CHS is a thorough and demanding process, and represents the most comprehensive independent verification available in the humanitarian sector. The CHS certification is granted for a four-year period following an in-depth assessment by external auditors of the organization\u2019s quality assurance systems and implementation. Oxfam is audited annually by external CHS auditors, and our four-year CHS certificate is valid until January 2025. See Oxfam\u2019s certificate and reports here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read more about the nine commitments on the Core Humanitarian Standard website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grand Bargain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We want to ensure that as many funds as possible end up in the hands of people affected by crisis. That\u2019s why, together with a number of other international humanitarian organizations, donors, and the UN, we have signed The Grand Bargain<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we are committed to achieving the best possible results for people in crisis by improving the efficiency and accountability of our work. This initiative began in 2016, and you can follow the process on The Grand Bargain\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
