The NGO Code of Good Practice was developed by NGOs, for NGOs, to help guide our work by providing a framework to which we can commit and be held accountable. Drawing on 20 years of knowledge and experience, the Code sets out key principles, practice and evidence base required for successful responses to HIV.
Introducing the new Code SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL! A series of self-assessment checklists that have been developed to
help you to measure where your programmes stand in line with Code
principles. In completing each module, you should be able to identify
areas in your programmes that are already at a good practice level, as
well as areas that can be developed and strengthened to meet the Code's
principles.
Put the Code's principles into practice -- Download the checklists below and assess how your NGO's programmes measure up to good practice principles. There are more checklists and translations in development so check back regularly!
GNP+ is working closely with the International Federation of the Red
Cross and Red Crescent to develop an NGO HIV/AIDS Code of Practice.
The project aims to: * Outline, and build wider commitment to, the
principles, practices and evidence base that underscores successful NGO
HIV/AIDS work * Assist Supporting NGOs * to improve the quality and
cohesiveness of their work and their accountability to their NGO
partners and beneficiary communities * Foster greater collaboration
between the wide variety of Supporting NGOs now actively engaged in
responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic and * Reinvigorate the "voice" of
NGOs in the HIV/AIDS response by committing to a shared advocacy
agenda. A full description of this project can be found on the IFRC web
site.
