On 15, 16 and 17 September 2014, at Groupe URD headquarters, the Autumn School on Humanitarian Aid brought together specialists on issues of Quality and Accountability. Much is happening in this area, with two important projects being presented in Copenhagen on 12 December 2014: the Core Humanitarian Standard, which has been developed due to the need for greater coherence between the various standards that exist, and the results of the Certification Project led by the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response.
