Mr. Kees (et al in list),
The Sphere project is an effort by US and European based NGOs to create a
set of standards for the operation of humanitarian assistance. The IFRC has
taken a lead in this process, but it would be inaccurate to say that Sphere
is an IFRC project. I think the intent is the exact opposite, that Sphere
(which is in a second phase) be something to which all NGOs subscribe.
I have been only involved on the edges of the project, so I suggest looking
for the Sphere page on the IFRC web site for more details.
Hope this has been helpful.
Regards,
C. Kelly
