"People In Aid is a global network of development and humanitarian assistance agencies. We help organisations whose goal is the relief of poverty and suffering to enhance the impact they make through better management and support of staff and volunteers.

The impact and effectiveness of relief and development operations depend on the quality of staff and volunteers and the support an agency gives them. Our very practical output can help agencies enhance that quality.

We respond to the needs of members and the sector by acting as an information exchange on good human resources and people management practice, by facilitating networking, by providing resources, by undertaking research and by answering queries.

Established by agencies in the relief and development sector in 1995, we are a not-for-profit membership organisation governed by our members, whose experiences and HR practices shape our activities and have informed the cornerstone of our work, the ‘People In Aid Code of Good Practice in the management and support of aid personnel’
