DanChurchAid believes

Henrik Stubkjær, Secretary General

"Hunger is an inevitable consequence of poverty. Hunger is the most grotesque example of inequity in the world. DCA is fighting hunger with all of the means we have, both in the short and longer term."

Networks

The fight against corruption takes place on several fronts: First, every part of our work must live up to certain demands concerning transparency, responsibility and accountability. Second, we must contribute to promoting an overall awareness of corruption.

DanChurchAid's HAP certification and our membership of Transparency International are two ways of doing these things.

HAP-certification

DanChurchAid has been certified by Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP), which is an international organisation certifying the work and work methods of humanitarian organisations.

“Accountability” refers to good practice of administration and responsibility.

As a humanitarian organisation we are accountable for the beneficiaries who receive development and relief assistance. To be accountable toward beneficiaries DanChurchAid has among other things established a complaint system where beneficiaries can complain, and by having management systems which support this.

HAP is one of the tools for greater openness – and therefore also a tool to fight corruption.

Transparency International

One of the key words in fighting corruption is transparency.

As a part of our work with anti-corruption DanChurchAid is a member of Transparency International Denmark.

Transparency International is an international association founded in 1993 consisting of more than 90 national departments worldwide. They all share the same purpose; to fight economic corruption and bribery.
