Published purpose

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement relies on national societies such as the Canadian Red Cross to maintain personnel resources available for surge support to operations worldwide. The deployment of humanitarian experts ensures that humanitarian needs are met through coordinated interventions, which are as local as possible, and only as international as necessary. With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross is deploying humanitarian experts to respond to the emergency operations worldwide of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Project activities include: (1) supporting deployment of both Canadian and non-Canadian humanitarian experts; and (2) providing pre- and post- deployment services to technical experts.
