Organizational Context:
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian organization.
As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement), our work is guided by seven fundamental principles; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.
The overall aim of the IFRC is "to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by National Societies (NSs) 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.
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. The Governance Excellence and Board Support Department, Office of the Internal Audit and Investigations and Office of the General Counsel are parts of the Office of the Secretary General. The IFRC has five regional offices in Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The IFRC also has country cluster delegations and country delegations throughout the world. Together, the Geneva Headquarters and the field structure (regional, cluster and country) comprise the IFRC Secretariat.
The Governance Excellence and Board Support Department interacts with many stakeholders at various levels, such as the IFRC President, 5 Vice-Presidents, Governing Board and its Working Groups, the Compliance and Mediation Committee (CMC), the Standing Commission (SC), the Joint Statutes Commission, all business groups at the IFRC Secretariat in Geneva, the IFRC regional offices, (and upon request, cluster and country offices), the National Societies, the ICRC, different international organizations and INGOs, and the diplomatic corps in Geneva as well as other partners.
The International Conference and Council of Delegates Coordinator position is based in the headquarters and reports to the Director, Governance Excellence and Board Support Department.
Job Purpose:
The incumbent will lead, coordinate and support the preparation of: (1) the Council of Delegates (CoD), which brings together representatives of each component of the Movement (ICRC, IFRC and NSs) to discuss matters that concern the Movement as a whole; and, (2) the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IC), which is the supreme deliberative body of the Movement, where the State Parties to the Geneva Conventions meet with the components of the Movement to examine and decide upon key matters of humanitarian concern of common interest and any other related matter.
The CoD meets every two years while the IC meets every four years in Geneva, and it is normally preceded by the CoD.
Co-chaired by the Director of the Governance Excellence and Board Support Department, the JOC is tasked with preparing the CoD and IC under the guidance of the SC, which is a Statutory Body established by the Movement Statutes.
The Coordinator will support the representatives of the IFRC in the SC.Job Duties and Responsibilities:
