HINNA is committed to non-discrimination, respect for human dignity and prioritising the most vulnerable. We recognise that it is the primary duty of States to protect and assist displaced and vulnerable people. Where States are unwilling or not wholly able to fulfil this duty, we endeavour to respond and advocate with them to fulfil their duty. We work in partnership and alliances with
local communities, authorities and UN agencies.
HINNA promotes respect for the rights and duties contained in international human rights and humanitarian laws, particularly the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Kampala Convention on IDPs in Africa. Specific focus is given to the protection of vulnerable groups and minorities, especially women and children.
HINNA is committed to accountability and transparency in all activities, and adheres to:
Code of Conduct for the Int. Red Cross/Red Crescent and NGOs in Disaster Relief
Humanitarian Accountability Partnership
SPHERE Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response
INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergency
‘Do No Harm’ principle
