Action in the field In
Europe , in spite of the Ukraine crisis, digital
transformation advanced successfully in 2022.
New applications, such as self-registration
tools, and standard post distribution needs
assessments, were distributed through digital
databases, improving accuracy and efficiency,
not only in regular activities but also in large
scale emergencies. A good example is the intro-
duction of AI with RedRose systems and various
automated processes for cash distribution.
Likewise, organizational and financial risk man-
agement was a priority in 2022 for some National
Societies, such as the
Mozambique Red Cross ,
which started the revision of its Statutes, with
the support of the IFRC. Subsequently, in
Nepal ,
the IFRC Nepal Country Delegation backed the
National Society’s risk management culture. The
aim was to improve accountability by ensuring
that all administration and financial procedures
are in place. One other sample was
Indonesia ,
where Palam Merah Indonesia, with the IFRC,
partnered with the Global Teaming Initiative
(GTI) of the American Red Cross. The aim was
to achieve their fundraising target (IDR 120 bil-
lion) annually, by mapping potential donors. In
Malaysia , the IFRC also supported the National
Society to develop a resource mobilization policy.
Activities in the
Red Ready project focused on
building the capacity of the Malaysia Red Cross,
particularly in the areas of finance, logistics and
procurement, human resources, resource mobi-
lization and project management.
The IFRC supported the
Yemen Red Crescent Society with full internet coverage in Sana’a and
in 17 branches. This intervention represented a
great help, both during and in the wake of the
pandemic, to all branch staff and volunteers.
Consequently, internet coverage facilitated infor-
mation sharing and activities, when possible.
