Published purpose
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is one of the three pillars of the Red Cross Movement. The IFRC coordinates and works with national societies around the world to provide relief assistance to affected people following a natural disaster or man-made disaster primarily in non-conflict situations. With GAC’s support, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is helping provide basic health services, outbreak coordination, and risk communications to regions in developing countries impacted by the COVD-19 outbreak. Project activities include: (1) providing risk communications and community engagement, particularly amongst high-risk populations (2) strengthening National Society pandemic planning efforts at the local and national level and (3) supporting clinical and paramedical care where health system capacity is insufficient to meet local needs.
