Donors already have indicators to assess the application of GHD, like the peer review process. Isn’t this enough?
Donors should be applauded for their efforts to track progress in implementation of the GHD principles and for using mechanisms like peer reviews to help agencies improve. However, these mechanisms tend to focus more on internal donors processes and do not always provide the level of participation and transparency that other stakeholders in the humanitarian sector would like to see. Furthermore, the HRI goes much further than any of these tools by looking at a wider set of both quantitative and qualitative indicators, and conducting field research to verify how the GHD principles are being applied in reality.
