2022 progress
In 2022, the IFRC worked with at least 155 
National Societies actively supporting the assis-
tance and protection needs of people on the 
move and finding durable solutions for the most 
at-risk migrants and displaced people in the face 
of evolving crises and enduring needs.
A total of 45 National Societies, with the support 
of the IFRC, implemented 25 population move-
ment operations this year. An additional 29 
National Societies supported these operations 
with financial and technical support.
The IFRC launched eight new population 
movement operations in 2022. The largest, the 
Emergency Appeal for Ukraine and impacted 
countries, supported 20 National Societies to 
respond to the needs of a projected 3.6 million 
refugees and displaced people.
The others supported people affected by pop-
ulation movement in Uganda, Cuba, Armenia 
and Republic of Congo, and appeals were also 
launched for internal displacement in Syria, 
a border conflict affecting Kyrgyzstan, and 
migration in Central America and Mexico. The 
Bangladesh population movement appeal 
remained open in 2022.
The IFRC continued to support National Societies 
with longer-term programming for migrants, 
refugees and host communities at national and 
regional levels. This included the world’s largest 
humanitarian cash programme for displaced 
communities in Türkiye (the Emergency Social 
Safety Net programme), and the new REPAIR 
(REunification PAthways for IntegRation) pro-
gramme in Europe.
As part of the ECHO PPP, the pillar on assistance 
and protection for people on the move includes 
support for 12 National Societies to scale up 
support for migrants and displaced people, 
including National Societies of Chad, Mali, Niger, 
DRC, Uganda, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, 
Ecuador, Panama, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
The pillar has a strong focus on enhancing 
assistance and protection, including through 
Humanitarian Service Points, strengthening 
social cohesion between migrants and host 
communities, and improving coordination both 
within and outside the network.
HSP@Sea is operated in partnership with SOS 
Mediterannée to provide humanitarian ser-
vices during rescue operations on the central 
Mediterranean Sea. The IFRC and National 
Society staff and volunteers provided humani-
tarian services including emergency healthcare, 
relief items, and psychosocial support to more 
than 3,000 people saved in 54 rescues. The res-
cued individuals included 931 minors and 583 
unaccompanied children.
In 2022, the IFRC continued to support access 
to assistance and protection for migrants 
and displaced people through effective policy 
engagement, advocacy and communications.
With a delegation led by the President, the IFRC 
took part in the first International Migration 
Review Forum, which was established to discuss 
and share progress on the implementation of 
the Global Compact on Migration.
IFRC activities highlighted in the 
publication 
on Promising Practices in the Provision of 
Essential Services to Migrants
include the net-
work’s Humanitarian Service Points at global 
level, and activities in South African Red Cross 
Society, Maldivian Red Crescent, and Turkish Red 
Crescent at national level.
The IFRC became a co-leader of a new UN 
Network on Migration priority workstream on 
missing migrants and humanitarian assistance 
to migrants in distress.
The IFRC also co-hosted, supported or engaged 
in several human mobility (migration, displace-
ment and planned relocation) related events 
at COP27, including notable events hosted by
