We have up to five seats available, and we are seeking representatives from:
- National organisations with experience of responding to crises from Africa, the Middle East and/or Latin America.
- Network/membership organisations involved in responding to humanitarian crises and representing local voices.
- People with experience of being recipients of humanitarian assistance and who can bring views of disaster affected communities.
The Steering Committee ensures the periodic revision of the CHS, and advises on its development, application and promotion. The Committee decides when a revision is necessary, ensures that the process is inclusive of the many diverse agencies and organisations in the sector, listens to the views of people affected by crisis and builds on evidence from the application of the CHS to date. It consists of up to 12 members, to include geographic, organisational and thematic diversity, and strives for a gender balance. See CHS Steering Committee Terms of Reference for full details.
