Rights-based Humanitarian Indicators in Post-earthquake Haiti

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses the effects and operation of indicators that are used to guide and measure the work of humanitarian relief agencies in their onthe-ground operations in Haiti. It examines two major sets of standards that were used as a form of self-regulation by several groups of major international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) - such as the Sphere indicators - that are used by primary donors to guide certain decisions. This chapter also introduces the Sphere Handbook, which contains some regulatory silences.
