strengthening, disaster response operations,
resource management, representation as well
as in formulating regional strategies in IFRC’s
strategic priorities.
Each Regional Office provides leadership in
IFRC’s operational, National Society develop-
ment, humanitarian diplomacy, and strategic
coordination support to its member National
Societies. The functions include strengthening
National Societies through capacity building
activities; supporting disaster response oper-
ations and assisting and/or providing surge
capacity where needed; resource management;
development of country and regional strategies;
coordination of National Societies in the region;
and representation of the IFRC at regional level
and at country level, where required.
The country and country cluster delegations
allow the IFRC to provide individually-tailored
support to National Societies – strengthening
their capacities, ensuring strategic and oper-
ational coordination, promoting their integrity,
and positioning them as strong and effective
local actors in line with the IFRC’s support of
greater localization in resilience building and
humanitarian response.
The Heads of the country and cluster delega-
tions lead the IFRC’s support for National Society
development, humanitarian diplomacy, account-
ability, resource development and all other work
to enhance the capacities and services in each
National Society’s domestic context.
Heads of delegations also act as ambassadors
for the IFRC, representing the organization within
the country/cluster, and in dialogues with internal
and external partners. Each one promotes a
“One IFRC” approach designed to link strategic
and operational objectives at country level, while
promoting and reinforcing the National Society’s
role as auxiliary to its government.
The IFRC’s presence at the country level allows it
to support National Societies in their continuous
development, in their long-term work, and in
their local action when disasters and crises affect
their country. By maintaining a country-level
presence, the IFRC is able to provide leadership
in coordinating technical assistance to National
Societies; facilitate front-line surge capacity in
emergency response operations, and act as the
organization’s primary communication link with
National Societies.
In addition, IFRC network reference centres,
hosted by member National Societies and the
IFRC around the world, contribute expertise and
support in their specialized areas of humanitar-
ian work (see relevant section for full details).
The Secretary General has constituted manage-
ment teams at four different levels to ensure
effective and efficient management of the IFRC
secretariat.
