Sphere Training, Damascus, 18-21 June 2022

Promoting Sphere Standards helps improve the quality of humanitarian action

Aimed at promoting Sphere standards, which are the most commonly used and widely known set of humanitarian standards and they promote quality and accountability when responding to humanitarian crises, the #Syrian_Arab_Red_Crescent carried out two training courses on 18- 25 June 2022, in #Damascus.

The two courses, supported by the German Red Cross @Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, brought about 70 employees together, where they went through the eight chapters of the Sphere project that focuses on ensuring the right to a dignified life for those affected by crises and wars and alleviating human suffering for the most vulnerable groups.

It is worth mentioning that the #SyrianArabRedCrescent is an approved focal point for the #Sphere Standards, which comprises the humanitarian charter, the protection principles, the core humanitarian standard, and minimum humanitarian standards in four vital areas of response: Water supply, sanitation, and hygiene promotion (WASH), Food security and nutrition, Shelter and settlement, and Health
