Private sector

The world is facing increasingly frequent and complex humanitarian and development issues. To address them, we need coordinated action from a diverse range of actors—including the private sector.

The IFRC strongly believes in the power of private sector engagement for global good.

Together with our National Societies, we work to develop partnerships with private sector organizations at the global level. These support the lifesaving work of National Societies and complement their own local partnerships.

Explore below how the private sector can support our trusted humanitarian and development work around the world.
