•
Empower staff to embrace new technologies 
and ways of working.
•
Streamline business processes, reduce 
manual errors, and improve overall organi-
zational efficiency leading to cost savings.
The ERP has been progressively rolled out, 
including the first module, Human Resources, in 
2022, to be followed by Finance and Operations 
in early 2023. Each module that is rolled out 
is accompanied by a comprehensive training 
process. Although it will take time for the ERP 
project to reach its full effectiveness, its impacts 
are already being felt across the organization. 
The ERP is an important step in the IFRC’s jour-
ney to become ever more flexible, relevant, and 
effective. 
The IFRC Delegation to the United Nations 
in New York
The IFRC Delegation to the United Nations plays 
a central role in advancing IFRC’s global human-
itarian diplomacy, endeavouring to “persuade 
decision-makers and opinion leaders to act, at all 
times, in the interest of vulnerable people, and 
with full respect for humanitarian principles”. 
Through its representation of the broader 
interests of the IFRC and National Societies, the 
IFRC Delegation to the United Nations in New 
York seeks to profile the work of the IFRC and 
National Societies in support of their auxiliary 
role, and to achieve the ambitions of the IFRC 
network laid out in the 
Agenda for Renewal
and 
Strategy 2030
. The delegation also works to 
influence relevant issues on the global agenda 
and policy development through UN outcomes, 
as well as to enhance and develop relationships 
and partnerships to advance our work. 
It achieves this through liaising with UN Member 
States, UN agencies, National Societies, the ICRC 
and other partners to deepen relationships and 
to position the IFRC network, including by secur-
ing participation of National Society and IFRC 
leadership in UN high-level meetings and side 
events to increase visibility and profile our work. 
The IFRC delegation also provides analyses and 
feedback to facilitate informed decision-making 
and action by the IFRC on relevant issues on the 
global agenda and ensure operational coordina-
tion, particularly with UN agencies. In addition, 
the IFRC delegation gives expert input to influ-
ence policy development through UN outcomes 
on IFRC priorities, including disaster and crises, 
migration, health, climate, and food security. 
For example, during the high-level week of 
the 77th Session of UN General Assembly in 
September 2022, senior IFRC leadership partic-
ipated in and spoke at very high-level meetings 
on these thematic priorities, sitting together 
with prime ministers, ministers and the UN 
Secretary General. 
By actively participating in the work of the UN 
General Assembly and its Committees, the IFRC 
delegation strengthened and introduced new 
language in the General Assembly resolutions on 
access to climate financing to support adaptation 
efforts in developing countries, especially those
