Annual report

partnership in coordination with the Coca-Cola 
Foundation and other partners, and in liaison 
with the Ghana Red Cross Society for coordi-
nation responses. In 
Nepal
, the IFRC Country 
Delegation supported the National Society to 
strengthen long-term coordination, collabora-
tion, partnership, advocacy and networking on 
community-based disaster risk reduction and 
resilience. The IFRC and the National Society 
brought together Ministries, Authorities, UN 
organizations, Red Cross partners, academic 
institutions, private sectors and research insti-
tutes. In 
Pakistan
, the National Society and 
the IFRC, created a coordination mechanism 
at national level in terms of public health inter-
ventions with the Government, UN agencies 
and other stakeholders, as a good example of 
alignment with external actors.
Effective operational coordination between 
different partners was especially evident during 
the COVID-19 large-scale operations, showing 
the Movement to be a global partner during the 
Pandemic. For instance, in 
Mozambique
, the 
IFRC, together with the Italian and the Spanish 
Red Cross, supported the National Society 
with the COVID-19 vaccination programme, 
through ECHO Pilot Partnership Programme 
(PPP). In 
Libya
, the IFRC engaged closely with 
the National Society to combat the effects of 
COVID-19 and to develop work modalities and 
structures with authorities. In 
Bangladesh
, with 
the support of the IFRC and in-country partners 
engaged nationwide, the National Society vol-
unteer network supported the Government’s 
countrywide COVID-19 vaccination. In 
Malaysia
, 
the IFRC provided technical and coordination 
support to the National Society in their role on 
the Malaysian government’s national COVID-19 
vaccination task force. Moreover, in 
Thailand
, 
during the Pandemic, the National Society 
provided assistance for migrant workers in part-
nership with IFRC, ICRC, UNICEF and local NGO 
Migrant Working Group.
Aligned disaster risk reduction actions were ben-
eficial in all regions. In 
Mozambique
, the cluster 
delegation played an important role in aligning 
the regional ECHO Programme on Early Warning 
and Anticipatory Action (EWAA) in Southern
