Organizational Context

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (“the Federation”) is the world’s largest volunteer-based humanitarian network with 192-member National Societies. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, our work is guided by seven fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. The Secretariat of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (“the IFRC”) works to a Business Model and has a Business Delivery Plan with key commitments that sharpen its focus, clarity, and efficiency and accountability results. The Secretariat, headquartered in Geneva, has five decentralized regional offices: one of which is the Europe Office, guided by the Secretariat strategies for implementation and areas of focus that builds on the vision of strategy 2030. The Europe region is organized in two main hemispheres: a group of service-based departments and geographical configurations of (i) Country Cluster Support Teams and (ii) Country Office(s), as well as the Deputy Regional Director, each of them led by the Regional Director; and another hemisphere: six building blocks composed by (i) Partnerships and Resource Development, (ii) Policy, Strategy and Knowledge; (iii) Communication, (iv) Disaster and Crisis: Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, (v) Health and Water and Sanitation, (vi) Logistics, each of them led by the Deputy Regional Director. The complexity and scope of humanitarian and development challenges are growing. The cost of international humanitarian assistance in 2019 was estimated to be USD 29.6bn and with the impact of COVID-19 and the changing climate this figure is likely to grow in the years ahead. Increasing and diversifying income overall through both emergency and non-emergency funding channels, and resource mobilization capacity development of National Societies will help National Societies respond to these challenges. If the IFRC network is to reach 250 million people with humanitarian assistance in 2030, it must be able to adapt its response to crises, and prepare for, and take advantage of, evolving resource mobilization trends. The Global Resource Mobilization Strategy 2030 (GRMS 2030) sets the global direction and course of action in resource mobilization for the IFRC network between 2021-2030.
