The Sphere Project

The Sphere Project was launched in 1997 by a group of humanitarian NGOs and the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement.

Sphere is based on two core beliefs:

1. That all possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of calamity and conflict
2. That those affected by disaster have a right to life with dignity and therefore a right to assistance.

DanChurchAid adheres to the Sphere Project , Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response and to the International Code of Conduct .

Guiding values and principles

The Sphere Project is based on:

• International Humanitarian, Human Rights, and Refugee law
• The Code of Conduct: Principles of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Response Programmes.
