HQAI is driven by its values of competence, responsibility, openness and confidentiality.
Our mission is to provide professional independent quality assurance services to improve the work of humanitarian and development organisations.
In doing so we aim at enhancing the trust of various stakeholders, that the work of these organisations is effective and accountable.
In addition, HQAI commits to minimise the environmental impact of its activities and promote positive behavioural changes in its sphere of influence. In that regard, we have signed The Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian Organisation and aspire to build it further with a concrete action plan.
And here’s for the record: HQAI was born in French-speaking Switzerland as Association Initiative Assurance Quality Humanitaire. But no worries, we answer when you call for our English acronym HQAI.
By the way, it is pronounced [eitẛkai]
