**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 International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network**. Our secretariat supports local Red Cross and Red Crescent action in more than 191 countries, bringing together more than 16 million volunteers for the good of humanity.
**The IFRC acts before, during and after disasters and crisis emergencies to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people.**We are an international membership organization that unites 191 Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and supports them through a global secretariat. We are present in virtually every community on earth. We reach 160 million people every year through long-term services, development programs and disaster response. And we work to improve global humanitarian standards and persuade leaders to act in the interests of vulnerable people.
**Our strength lies in our volunteer network**, our unparalleled community-based expertise and our independence and neutrality. We are committed to saving lives and changing minds. And we are guided by Strategy 2030—our collective plan of action to tackle the major humanitarian and development challenges of this decade. Through our work we enable healthy and safe communities, reduce vulnerabilities, improve people’s resilience and promote peace around the world. Also, The Federation provides technical guidance and institutional support to National Societies to implement global, regional or local initiatives according to the Red Cross Red Crescent Fundamental principles and 2030 Strategy.
