In April 2009, following an open recruitment process, the Chair of the HAP Board commissioned an external and independent evaluation to:
- document HAP?s progress against HAP International?s mission and vision, its key policies (New Emergencies Policy, Accreditation and Funding), and the strategic targets set out in the 2007- 2009 strategic plan;
- review and assess the relevance and appropriateness of the 2007- 2009 strategic plan to HAP?s mission, and the specific objectives of the BSO project;
-recommend changes of strategy and emphasis that should be incorporated into the HAP 2010-2012 strategic plan.
