Funds for National Society development
The IFRC provides financial support to National Society development through three different funds, two of which are delivered in partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Together, the funds provide a wide range of development and technical support to National Societies to help them become stronger, more sustainable and more effective.
