We are the Accountability and Learning Group (ALWG) memeber and we upheld the HAP standards. We also being appointed one focal point to Sphere Project in Geneva. We already have Humanitarian Accountability Framework for the transparency and accountability at field and grass root level. We are register charity under the Government of Republic of Union of Myanmar and we've got the Official Banking account with our organization name. We follows international code and generally acceptable accounting system. Currently we work with other UN Bodies and INGO/NGO and Donor Communities in both Aid and Development programme. A standard acts as a basis for comparison or reference point against which something can be evaluated. It can contain both quantitative and qualitative criteria or requirements.A standard acts as a basis for comparison or reference point against which something can be evaluated. It can contain both quantitative and qualitative criteria or requirements.
For a standard to become widely recognized and acknowledged as a mark of excellence, it needs to be developed through a broad consensus building process involving all relevant stakeholders, and those for which it has been created accept to be measured by it.
The HAP Standard in Accountability and Quality Management was developed following principles of international standard development, which include:
* Standard development through a process of broad consensus
* Adoption of the standard by a recognised body
* The Standard addresses a recognised need
There are various types of standards, most designed to measure excellence as follows:
* Product specifications: usually measuring the final outcome or deliverables.
* Process specifications: usually measuring the methodology used so as to obtain a stated result, including the management of activities that lead to the stated result.
The HAP Standard goes beyond these, as it seeks to measure:
* Accountability and quality commitments made by an aid agency and as specified in their accountability framework – the product.
* Quality Management System – the processes used by the aid agency to achieve the commitments made.
* Quality of Service – as defined by disaster survivors, affected communities, partners, aid practitioners and other specified stakeholders.
In order to achieve certification, an agency will demonstrate that it meets the 6 benchmarks and 19 requirements in the HAP Standard. These cover the three areas mentioned above, with specific attention to continual improvement.
Why a Standard in Accountability and Quality Management?
The problem of power
Non-government organizations exercise significant power in humanitarian crisis through their control over essential goods and services, such as food, medical aid and shelter. However, until recently, the "helping power" of emergency relief agencies has been fairly unregulated as few organizations formalized procedures to allow disaster survivors to participate in decisions about services or complain about poor practices.
Agencies take note
UN and NGO agencies became acutely aware of their lack of accountability after the Rwanda genocide of 1994. Over the next 10 years, they worked together on various initiatives directed at remedying the so-called 'accountability deficit' in humanitarian action. One of those initiatives eventually became HAP. Read more about HAP's history.
From Principles to the Standard
Immediately following its launch in 2003, HAP set about developing a set of Principles of Accountability. These summarized - for the first time - core elements of good practice in accountability in humanitarian situations.Based on the Principles of Accountability alone, agencies were not able to demonstrate the quality and accountability of their humanitarian action. Therefore, HAP members asked the Secretariat in 2005 to develop a set of benchmarks and indicators for accountability and quality

Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
We aim to assist in living condition and alleviation of rural people lives.RADANAR AYAR, hereafter referred as " Association", is uniquely equipped to work alongside rural community to tackle the key issues that affect their livelihoods and promote their well-being. RADANAR AYAR Association for Rural Development is Bogalay-based – being founded by local people and community leaders who have decades-long experience in community development . Since the organization is truly from the community, it has a close relationship with local farmers as well as with local leaders in agricultural trade and production as well as experts in community development. As well, it has excellent working relations with the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation and Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlements, various organizations and implementing partners throughout Myanmar and other thematic working groups at local and national level.
In the aftermath of Nargis, the group who would later go on to establish Radanar Ayar used their own resources to help affected farmers in the cyclone-devastated areas. These include rice millers and rice traders who are also private philanthropists. Radanar Ayar is a member of Myanmar NGO Network.
RADANAR AYAR was first founded as a sister-organization of Myanmar Rice Industry Association. It subsequently registered as a not-for-profit, non-religious, non-political and non-partisan organisation in 2010. Radanar Ayar works in the thematic areas of Agricultural Livelihoods and Rural Poverty Reduction.
