In 2022, the Inter Agency Standing Committee
(IASC) created a Task Force on Accountability
to Affected People, which the IFRC is co-leading
together with WFP
and the Core Humanitarian
Standard (CHS) Alliance. This task force will over-
see the implementation of strategic actions for
increased accountability within the humanitarian
sector until 2024.
A National Society Development study entitled
Localization of Humanitarian Action in the Red
Cross and
Red Crescent
was conducted and the
report launched in April 2022. The study looked
at the effectiveness and relevance of National
Society Development
for localization over a
period of ten years in five National Societies
(Mexico, Kenya, Indonesia, Türkiye and Lebanon).
The findings of the study affirmed and demon-
strated how long-term purposeful investment
in National Society
development increased
humanitarian impact in challenging, diverse and
complex environments.
Action in the field
The IFRC played a crucial role in Humanitarian
Diplomacy within
the immense scale of the
humanitarian needs in protracted or new crises,
such as
Syria
,
Yemen
and
Ukraine
. In
Syria
,
the IFRC delegation engaged a range of actors,
including governments and intergovernmental
organizations, other humanitarian organizations,
and relevant stakeholders, to ensure that the
needs of those affected by the emergency were
well addressed and met.
The IFRC worked closely with the
Syrian Arab
Red Crescent
(SARC) and Movement partners
to secure support for and place emphasis on
SARC’s neutral, impartial, and independent posi-
tion. In addition, the IFRC worked closely with
the National Society to advocate for humani-
tarian access, across the country. Moreover,
the IFRC monitored the situation and used its
humanitarian diplomacy
capacity to reduce
the impact of sanctions for the operation. One
of the key humanitarian diplomacy events was
the SARC message sent to the United Nations
Security Council.
In
Afghanistan
, the IFRC supported the Afghan
Red Crescent Society by engaging authorities
and other stakeholders in the critical situation
of female workers, and interventions targeting
women. Activities for women must be delivered
by women in Afghanistan, according to the coun-
try’s cultural practices.
Afghan Red Crescent
Society health staff and volunteers were allowed
to provide primary health and care services in
the community in 2022.
The network’s capacity to persuade and influ-
ence was reinforced globally in 2022 through
relevant Training of Trainers for the Legislative
Advocacy toolkit. Training sessions were held
across the globe with Disaster Law Teams and
National Societies in four regions:
