The INEE Minimum Standards was founded on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Dakar 2000 Education for All goals and the Sphere Project's Humanitarian Charter.

- policies and procedures: developing written policies and procedures relevant to the organisation
- training: targetted workshop materials for typical roles, e.g. management, emergency relief, child sponsorship and programme staff
