Complaints

Community World Service Asia welcomes feedback and complaints on the assistance and services it provides. We are committed to being accountable to our project participants, partners, staff, and other stakeholders. We ensure that our programming remains project participant focused at all stages, and during the course of project implementation communities have the right to raise their concerns.

A complaint is a formal way of voicing concern against violation of rights.

Community World Service Asia recognizes its developmental and humanitarian interventions to alleviate poverty and minimize human suffering. Thus, we believe it is the right of project participants and others to complain and express their views at any stage of program implementation.
