COMPAS Method
|
A Quality Assurance method for humanitarian aid |
| Objectives |
|
|
The COMPAS Method is a Quality Assurance method designed specifically for humanitarian aid. It can be used for two purposes – project management and project evaluation – and its overall objective is to continuously improve the quality of services provided to crisis-affected populations.
Adopting a quality assurance approach for project management and project evaluation also aims to strengthen NGO credibility and build public confidence, in the eyes of beneficiaries, institutional donors and the general public alike. It is not enough for NGOs simply to declare that they are “responsible” and “accountable”: they must prove it. The Quality COMPAS helps NGOs to lay the foundations for public confidence, by consolidating institutional responsibility and accountability.
Public :
This method is aimed at humanitarian actors, and in particular “anyone involved in the project cycle”, from the initial investigation right up to the final evaluation (including volunteers in the field, management staff at headquarters, and external and internal evaluators).
The Quality COMPAS is specifically aimed at field staff. However, using the Quality COMPAS implies making certain strategic decisions and this institutional change must be embraced at the highest levels of an organisation.
