In fact, Mission East was one of the first organisations in the relief and development sector to be awarded the People in Aid Level 2 Kitemark, which indicated that the organisation was ‘Verified compliant’ with the People in Aid Code.
The principles of the then People in Aid Code were an important catalyst in the development of Mission East’s HR strategy, policies, and procedure and Mission East was repeatedly re-certified against the People in Aid Code, with the last three-year certificate awarded in 2013.
Since 2014 Mission East has been a member of the CHS Alliance (which incorporated People In Aid) and has engaged in learning and improvement against the framework of the CHS. Following external audit in 2017, Mission East received a Certificate of Compliance with the Core Humanitarian Standard, which demonstrates Mission East’s ability to work to meet the commitments of the standard in action. Mission East continues to be certified against the Core Humanitarian Standard.
