Furthermore the launch of the Q&A Workbook is a distinctive initiative containing an introduction to Sphere, HAP Standard in Accountability and Quality Management, and People in Aid Code of Good Practice. The Workbook also contains Q&A best practices, Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Code of Conduct, and CWS-P/A’s Complaint Response Mechanism (CRM).

During the ceremony, CWS-P/A will also introduce Pakistan’s first mobile knowledge resource center (MKRC), which has been operational in Sindh Province since January 2012.
