Contribution to the ICRC and IFRC National Society Investment Alliance (NSIA)

Progetto concluso

In order to realize the Movement’s full potential, the ICRC and the IFRC have committed to work together to increase the investment in Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies (NS). A joint fund, the National Society Investment Alliance (NSIA), has been launched to invest in capacity-strengthening and organizational development. It provides flexible, multi-year funding to support the development of NS to become stronger local humanitarian actors for their communities.

Il progetto in breve
Contesto 192 NS and nearly 14 million volunteers, with the support of their Movement partners, are committed to alleviating human suffering everywhere. They are known and trusted by the public at large, but also by public authorities and the people they aim to help. Despite the unique position of the Movement, many NS have not yet reached their potential. NS operating in the most fragile contexts do not necessarily have the luxury of investing their resources in their own development, but must rather focus on their operational response. In addition, the investment in the development of NS’ capacity is not particularly attractive to donors that prefer to fund visible operations. 
Obiettivi To develop and strengthen the capacity of the NS in most fragile contexts so they can provide relevant and adequate humanitarian services to people in need. 
Gruppi target National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Effetti a medio termine
  • NS in fragile contexts have access to substantial, multi-year financial support so they can invest in their development, with a focus on organizational development and capacity strengthening
  • IFRC and ICRC refine their processes for identifying and managing NS development interventions in fragile contexts
  • NSIA becomes a “reference tool” for the development of NS by demonstrating its added value and it increases its donor base
