Intern, Maintaining and Rolling out the Community Resilience Measurement Dashboard

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, with a network of 192-member National Societies. The overall aim of the IFRC is “to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by National Societies with a view to preventing and alleviating human suffering and thereby contributing to the maintenance and promotion of human dignity and peace in the world.”  The IFRC works to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people before, during and after disasters, health emergencies and other crises.

IFRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement), together with its member National Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The work of the IFRC is guided by the following fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.

IFRC is led by its Secretary General, and has its Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The Headquarters are organized into three main Divisions: (i) National Society Development and Operations Coordination; (ii) Global Relations, Humanitarian Diplomacy and Digitalization; and (iii) Management Policy, Strategy and Corporate Services.

IFRC has five regional offices in Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas.  IFRC also has country cluster delegation and country delegations throughout the world. Together, the Geneva Headquarters and the field structure (regional, cluster and country) comprise the IFRC Secretariat.

IFRC developed the Community Resilience measurement Dashboard (CRMD) in April 2022, which aims to support Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies and community resilience practitioners in designing and implementing the projects for community resilience. CRMD enables users to measure community resilience by using such measurement tools as the Resilience Star, Scan and Radar, analyse the data across the 11 resilience dimensions or by gender, education level or community and publish community or area reports. With the support of the dashboard, programme managers can make base-line, mid-line or end-line measurement of community resilience and use the information in designing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of community resilience programmes. CRMD is available in Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
