Caritas Internationalis Management Standards (CIMS)
Caritas Internationalis Management Standards (CIMS)
Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand is a member of Caritas Internationalis, the confederation of Catholic relief, development and social service organisations. CI is a global confederation of more than 160 organisations networked together in 200 countries as part of the humanitarian and development mission of the Catholic Church.
Caritas aims to uphold the highest standards of management, accountability and transparency and thereby maintain the trust of the faithful and of the many other people around the world for our witness of faith and concrete ability to respond to the needs of the poor.
The CI Management Standards are based on existing Caritas Confederation good practice and accepted global principles within the global humanitarian international development community. As a Member Organisation, Caritas is committed to an agreed system of Management Standards and to accompanying fellow Member Organisations - in both a giving and receiving role.
Compliance with Caritas Internationalis Management Standards
In addition to the CID Code, Caritas operates under a set of Caritas Internationalis Management Standards including a Code of Conduct. The CIMS are instruments and practices to promote the spirit of communion and organisation, solidarity, mutual support and fraternal cooperation and are shared by Caritas Internationalis members across the globe. They address the professional nature of our mission. They highlight the necessary skills and attitudes, such as accountability and expertise and expected behaviours in our work for charity and justice.
