Frameworks research by the One World Trust
Bond commissioned the One World Trust to make a comparative analysis of quality frameworks being used across the sector and beyond. The research will considered the design, implementation and use of several different approaches ranging from HAP, SPHERE, and the People in Aid Standard, to ISO 9000, EFQM, and ISEAL. The findings in the report informed the presentation of options at the 22 June quarterly working meeting of the Bond Effectiveness Programme.
Partner comparative research
Bond commissioned a study to capture and examine sector learning on Partnerships. Many NGOs have undertaken their own internal reviews of relationships with their partners in the south, and introduced their own guidelines or policies to ensure these partnerships are conducted properly and to deliver real benefit. Little of this knowledge and experience has been shared to wider sector advantage. The findings were discussed at the 22 June meeting, and options considered for developing and trialling this aspect of the BEP.
