**Organizational Context**:
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, with a network of 191-member National Societies (NSs). The overall aim of the IFRC is “to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by 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.

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 has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment and other forms of harassment, abuse of authority, discrimination, and lack of integrity (including but not limited to financial misconduct). IFRC also adheres to strict child safeguarding principles.

The **Risk-informed Early Action Partnership** (REAP, also ‘the Partnership’) brings together stakeholders across the climate, humanitarian, and development communities with the aim of making 1 billion people safer from disasters by 2025, by enabling early action at scale. REAP was launched at the UN Climate Action Summit in 2019, with **four targets** designed to drive a systemic shift towards acting earlier, to reduce the impacts of disasters. REAP has also identified three drivers of change which inform its approach towards the 4 Targets, as set out in the **REAP Strategic Vision** and **REAP Framework for Action**. As a partnership, REAP supports coordination, convening and sensemaking across a diverse range of stakeholders to foster greater alignment, coherence, and complementarity of existing initiatives, while learning together what is needed to achieve early action at scale. The annual _State of Play_ report is one way in which REAP seeks to further this work.

**Job Purpose**:
The purpose of this consultancy is to plan, research and draft _Early Action: The State of Play 2024_ for the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership (REAP), in consultation and working with REAP Partners. The consultancy can be undertaken by an individual or a team.

**Job Duties and Responsibilities**:
**The Operating Environment**

The number of networks, partnerships and initiatives directly working on, or relevant to, early warning and early action has increased in recent years. This evolution has been explored to some extent in _Early Action: The State of Play 2023_ as well as in **_Global status of multi-hazard early warning systems 2023_** and the external evaluation REAP undertook in 2023, the **2023 Stocktake for the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership**. It is the result of greater understanding and awareness of the potential benefits of early warning and early action, and commitment towards enabling such interventions at scale. The growth in networks, partnerships and initiatives occupying similar spaces has also prompted reflection on how to ensure complementarity rather than competition - including in terms of the learning generated from the respective efforts of each. The _Global status of multi-hazard early warning systems_ reports and the **_Anticipatory Action: A Global Overview_** reports are two such sources of learning, and provide an opportunity for the State of Play reports to deliver complementary insights that strengthen collective understanding across their shared audiences.
