Progress in 2022
Unified planning
Following the decision to embark on a
unified
approach for planning
in line with the Agenda
for Renewal, 130 National Societies produced a
unified country plan for 2023, with support from
IFRC delegations. Federation-wide unified plan-
ning assumes that the international support to
a National Society provided by members of the
IFRC network and the IFRC is most effective when
its planning, implementation and monitoring is
fully coordinated and aligned with the priorities,
needs and capacities of the host National Society,
both for emergencies and longer-term support.
The IFRC provided context and thematic analyses
through consultants and
IFRC reference centres
and labs (for climate and migration) to support
country teams with quality information and data.
Seventy-four briefs were provided covering 49
countries through one or more pieces of analy-
sis. A planning review week was organized during
which 24 National Societies and the five IFRC
regional offices presented their draft plans. The
sessions were held virtually and well attended,
including participants from the international
departments of participating National Societies.
A week-long writeshop followed to turn country
unified plans into external facing IFRC Network
Country or Multi-Country Plans. The writeshop
saw the participation of over 25 people from
the IFRC and National Societies. Twenty-five IFRC
Network Country
Plans for priority contexts
were released during the global launch event
gathering Permanent Missions in Geneva in
November 2022, ahead of other international
organizations’ similar events. By year end, most
of the 85 external facing IFRC Network Country
Plans for 2023, covering 130 countries (42 plans
for Africa, 16 for Asia Pacific, ten for MENA, nine
for Europe and eight for Americas) were made
accessible on an ifrc.org
dedicated page, the
Appeals database, and GO
platform country
pages. Promotion of the plans continued after
the global launch, and delegations were encour-
aged to support National Societies in organizing
events at country level.
Coordination in operations
As a key element
of the Agenda for Renewal
strategy, a renewed focus on membership coor-
dination has been a priority of IFRC to ensure
that as a network, the IFRC and its members
work with efficiency and reduce duplication, lev-
eraging the power of the network for the ultimate
benefit of the communities our network serves.
This has been witnessed throughout the year in
both operations and thought leadership on key
thematic areas within the scope of IFRC work.
In operations, the IFRC has prioritized effective
membership coordination for operations like in
