  1. Joint Standards Initiative VOICE Members 16th October 2012

  2. Overall objective of JSI “to achieve greater coherence for stakeholders and users of standards in order to improve humanitarian action to affected populations”

  3. Principles underpinning the process JSI process and decision-making is informed by robust evidence No pre-determined outcome Consultation to be wide-ranging, representative and objective Adequate representation from affected populations & Global South Complementary with SCHR Certification Review

  4. JSI key components Stakeholder Consultation - to provide evidence Working Group on Standards & Organisation JSI communications – www.jointstandards.org Standards Forum - in Switzerland, June 2013 Joint activities – training, guides, deployments

  5. JSI Progress to date High degree of trust & commitment between the 3 initiatives  JSI Steering Group meeting monthly  JSI staff employed and hosted in London  Proposal developed and funding secured; SCHR, Danida, SDC  JSI Working Group met on 27/9 and agreed ways of working  Stakeholder Consultation ‘approach’ defined and agreed  Initial planning for consultation events and Standards Forum

  6. JSI Next Steps Oct 2012 : Recruit Consultant & design survey. Nov 2012 - Feb 2013 : Stakeholder Consultation. Early Mar 2013 : Organisational review, based on findings. End Mar 2013 : Working Group recommendations published Apr 2013 : Boards of 3 initiatives consider recommendations Jun 2013 : Standards Forum in Geneva, to consider process, findings and recommendations.

  7. 1. Rationale for JSI Is the ‘problem’ proliferation or poor implementation? What are the challenges you face with multiple sets of standards? How do you/your agency deal with this complexity? How could a recasting of standards help fieldworkers? What might a useful integrated standard look like?

  8. 2. Consultation with Stakeholders Who are the key stakeholders? What are the key issues we should be consulting our stakeholders on? How would you like to be consulted?

  9. 3. Future Perspectives How would you like the humanitarian quality and accountability architecture to look in 5 years time? What are the steps to reach this future state?
