Unfortunately, the response to humanitarian crises and large-scale natural disasters worldwide has shown consistent failures in coordination, intervention, and documentation of impact outcomes. The response to the Haitian earthquake of 2010 prompted the international community to address these shortcomings and requirements for greater accountability, stringent quality performance oversights, documentation and reporting, and a recognized process leading to professionalization of the humanitarian community. Evidenced-based studies indicate the need to use a cross- or multi-disciplinary approach to developing competencies leading to curricula and course development and to eventual certification and registry of providers. This chapter discusses the current processes by which these issues are being addressed.
