Overview

Organizational Context

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network, with 191 member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. IFRC uses the Triple R – response, resilience and respect – to deliver on Strategy 2030. IFRC responds to disasters and crises, ensuring timely, coordinated and locally led humanitarian action. IFRC supports its members in building community resilience in the areas of climate and environment, health and wellbeing, and migration and displacement. IFRC promotes respect for our fundamental principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality, including in our work on values, power and inclusion. The IFRC focuses throughout on our core mandate – our raison d’être – of strategic and operational coordination, humanitarian diplomacy, National Society development, and accountability.

IFRC is led by its Secretary General and has its Headquarters in Geneva and five regional offices in Africa (Nairobi); the Americas (Panama); Asia Pacific (Kuala Lumpur); Europe (Budapest); and MENA (Beirut) as well as representation offices, service centres and delegations across the globe.

The 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 IFRC plays a crucial role in supporting the Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies by coordinating international relief efforts, providing development assistance, and ensuring the integrity and protection of National Society interests. As auxiliary to the public authorities in humanitarian services, the National Societies provide aid for vulnerable people in need during disasters and non-emergency contexts, using their extensive in-country assets, human resources and government and civil society relations for the effective and efficient implementation of activities across all sectors. The IFRC Country Office in Armenia was established in 1992 and forms part of the IFRC Country Cluster Delegation for Turkiye and South Caucasus.

In Armenia, the IFRC supports the Armenian Red Cross Society by strengthening strategic and operational coordination, fostering National Society development and advancing humanitarian diplomacy with an emphasis on accountability and agility as a cross-cutting theme. It also enhances the auxiliary role of the National Society by facilitating regular meetings with key government stakeholders.
