A Global Agenda for the International Federation |
| |
|
Given
the scale of needs in the world, as a Federation we need to
align our resources and scale up our efforts where needs are
greatest and where the Red Cross Red Crescent can make a difference.
In today’s competitive environment, we need to show
more clearly the benefits of working as an International Federation,
and how our actions and advocacy contribute to achieving the
Millennium
Development Goals and other major global efforts to reduce
poverty and inequity and promote sustainable human development.
To accomplish
this, the Federation of the
Future programme proposes adopting a Global
Agenda for all National Societies in the Federation, with
four goals aligned to the core areas of Strategy
2010.
