Aid agency human resources: revised People In Aid Code
on staff support launched
People In Aid, the network of 50+ international
relief, development and advocacy agencies, has
launched a revised “Code of Good Practice in the
management and support of aid personnel” to help
improve the quality of assistance provided by
international and host country staff to communities
affected by poverty and disaster.
Building on previous guidelines, the People In Aid
Code offers agencies the most effective framework for
human resources management, helping them assess and
raise their performance.
Under an overarching principle “people are central to
the achievement of our mission”, the Code links
together aims and indicators in seven areas: health,
safety and security; learning, training and
development; recruitment and selection; consultation
and communication; support, management and leadership;
staff policies and practices; human resources
strategy.
Alongside the Code, People In Aid offers the aid
community a range of training, research and
information on topics from psychological
support to staff benefits, security to HIV/AIDS.
