**Who we are?**

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is a humanitarian organization established in Paris in 1919 after the first World War. It is the world’s largest volunteer-based humanitarian network, reaching 150 million people each year through our member National Societies. Together, we act before, during and after disasters and health emergencies to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people. We do so with impartiality as to nationality, race, gender, religious beliefs, class and political opinions. At the IFRC, we work as partners in development, responding to disasters, supporting healthy and safe living, and improving humanitarian standards. As a result, we help reduce vulnerabilities, make communities more resilient and foster a culture of peace around the world.

The IFRC is a component of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which includes the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the 192 Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies.

Our vision is to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies, 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.

**What we do?**

Our humanitarian work is guided by our 7 Fundamental Principles and centred on our mission “to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity” and focused on four core areas: promotion of the Movement’s Fundamental Principles and humanitarian values; disaster response; disaster preparedness, and health and care in the community.

**How we do it?**

The humanitarian assistance we deliver is carried out by networks of volunteers, Federation staff and Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies. Strategy 2030 is our current guiding framework to deliver humanitarian assistance for the decade until the year 2030. Through its strategic goals and transformations, we seek to organize ourselves effectively and efficiently. The three strategic goals are:

- People anticipate, respond to, and quickly recover from crisis.
- People lead safe healthy and dignified lives and have opportunities to thrive.
- People mobilise for inclusive and peaceful communities.

The seven transformations are:

- Supporting and developing National Societies as strong and effective local actors
- Inspiring and mobilising volunteerism

- Influencing humanitarian action
- Undergoing a digital transformation
