Annual report

•
2022 expenditure: EUR 691,000
In 2022, the Global First Aid Reference Centre 
celebrated its ten-year anniversary, advocating 
First Aid for all, and highlighting the leading role 
of the Movement in first aid.
Working with the IFRC, the IFRC First Aid Policy 
and Vision 2030 were adopted in June 2022 
by the IFRC General Assembly. Six technical 
groups were launched, composed of National 
Society, IFRC and ICRC experts, to produce tech-
nical resources to support National Societies to 
implement the six Priorities of the Vision: first 
aid education; standards and qualifications; 
research, evidence, and evaluation; first aid in 
schools; commercial first aid, and pre-hospital 
emergency care and operations.
The Centre delivered more than 100 instances of 
technical support to National Societies in project 
design and evaluation (13 per cent), conference 
and meetings (18 per cent), technical resource 
creation (15 per cent), training (36 per cent), 
direct expertise support (17 per cent), and advo-
cacy (1 per cent).
Communication campaigns were created to sup-
port National Societies for World First Aid Day 
(14 million people reached, 65,000 volunteers/
staff and 90 National Societies involved) and for 
World Restart a Heart Day (1.3 million people 
reached) in collaboration with the International 
Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.

2022 expenditure: EUR 500,000
The Mission of the Livelihoods Resource Centre 
is to promote livelihoods programming through 
the collection and dissemination of resources 
and good practices, technical support, and 
training to strengthen the capacities of National 
Societies and other interested organizations.
The Centre provided remote and field technical 
support to livelihoods and food security pro-
grammes implemented by National Societies and 
the IFRC (57 requests from all regions). Main top-
ics requested: guidance on how to target, sharing 
of tools and field support, proposal review, mon-
itoring and evaluation of saving groups/mother 
clubs, micro-entrepreneurship), etc.
Toolkits and guidelines were created on liveli-
hoods in migration and displacement contexts, 
design and management of micro entrepreneur-
ship projects, and a toolkit for Saving groups/
Mother’s Club integrated approach. Case studies 
were created related to projects in COVID-19 
and non-COVID contexts. Guidelines and a case 
study were also created on resilience to malnu-
trition in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Capacity strengthening initiatives on livelihoods, 
cash and markets included 26 training events (18 
online and eight in-person), to participants from 
more than 25 National Societies, the IFRC and 
ICRC and the creation of a training package on 
the design and management of micro enterprise 
programmes for individuals.
