The Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) has received accreditation under the Trusted Standard, issued by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) in the United Kingdom, after meeting the requirements and indicators of the first level of the standard. The accreditation reflects RHF’s commitment to applying international best practices in the quality and sustainability of humanitarian work.
Ebrahim Dalhan Al Doseri, Acting Secretary-General of RHF, said that humanitarian work is not measured by the amount of funds spent, but by the quality of the systems governing expenditure and the accuracy with which impact is measured.
He affirmed that the accreditation serves as an independent external validation that the assistance provided by RHF is underpinned by a robust governance framework and auditable procedures, thereby safeguarding both donor confidence and beneficiary dignity.
The Trusted Standard is a specialised framework for quality and governance in organisations delivering social impact. It aims to enable organisations to manage their resources and services with a high degree of efficiency and transparency across 11 organisational areas, including governance, strategic planning, leadership and management, beneficiary-focused services, workforce management, learning and development, financial management, resource management, external communications, working with partners, and the evaluation of results and measurement of impact.
