In May 2021, as part of the Emergency Social Safety Net programme, we began the first systematic internal socio-economic empowerment referrals with the aim of fostering self-resilience of affected populations. The IFRC and Turkish Red Crescent also carried out all ESSN operations relentlessly during the 18 day national COVID-19 lockdown in Türkiye.
This factsheet provides a snapshot of the enormous socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 in Türkiye, particularly on vulnerable groups who were already struggling before the pandemic. Our research found that, one year on from the start of the pandemic, many refugees in Türkiye are struggling to pay for food, utilities, rent and other basic needs and are falling deeper into debt. This research was conducted by the Turkish Red Crescent and IFRC as part of the Emergency Social Safety Net programme, funded by the European Union.
This workplan sets out the thematic and operational priorities of the European Youth Network for the period 2021-2023.
Containing an epidemic before it spreads uncontrollably saves lives, protects livelihoods, and safeguards long-term development. National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies can play a key role in epidemic risk management through their vast network of local branches and volunteers. This document provides an overview of the experience of the Community Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness Program (CP3) in the fight against cholera in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in 2019 and 2020.
Sixty per cent of known infectious diseases and 75 per cent of emerging infectious diseases originate in domestic animals and wildlife. Epidemics begin and end in communities – enabling, empowering and equipping communities to recognize and respond to public health threats is essential for a One Health approach. The Kenya Red Cross is a national leader and trusted government partner in disaster risk reduction, disaster management and public health with more than 150,000 volunteers throughout the country. In 2018, the National Society started implementing the Community Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness Programme (CP3) in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Kenya Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the Ministry of Education, and the Teachers Service Commission to strengthen One Health readiness.
This report highlights the devastating impact of climate change on coastal communities across the globe. People living in the world’s coastal regions already face multiple and compounding risks from climate change. Sea levels are rising, coastal floods are becoming more severe, storms and cyclones are intensifying, and storm surge is reaching higher levels, further inland. In addition to extreme weather events, large areas are becoming uninhabitable, and millions of people have been or will be forced to leave their homes. The report includes first-hand accounts of remarkable and resilient people living in coastal areas in Mexico, Somalia, and Bangladesh. Heat, sea level rise, droughts or storms, the climate crisis is already pushing those communities towards the very limits of their future survival.
Millions of people around the world are displaced and moving in the context of disasters and the adverse effects of climate change. This is only set to worsen as climate change increases the intensity and frequency of sudden- and slow-onset hazards. We, collectively, have a duty to address the humanitarian impacts of climate-related displacement. But we do not need to wait until communities are displaced, we can and must take action now to protect them. This report presents a collection of case studies of how Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies worldwide are protecting and assisting communities in the context of climate-related displacement. And it calls for more ambitious climate action and investment in local communities and local organizations to address this urgent humanitarian challenge. Find out more about our work supporting people on the moveand addressing the climate crisis.

The Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI) in emergencies toolkit accompanies the IFRC Minimum standards on protection, gender and inclusions in emergencies (2018) and provides additional guidance to plan, implement and monitor those standards during an emergency response and recovery. It is not intended that all tools will be used in each emergency response, rather this is a compendium of tools, which can be drawn on and adapted when required. The toolkit is organized in 4 chapters: Overview Planning and assessment Implementation Monitoring, evaluation and reporting Scroll down to download the full toolkit or individual sections and tools. The full toolkit is also available in Spanish and Arabic.
In 2018, the IFRC Network—190 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and their secretariat—was called on to respond to many new crises and record levels of humanitarian needs. More extreme climate-related events occurred than ever before and the consequences of complex protracted humanitarian crises were felt in all regions.
The IFRC produced these guidelines following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident to help National Societies prepare for, respond to and recover from nuclear and radiological emergencies. Learn more about technological and biological hazard preparedness.
Good programming and community engagement require a solid understanding of the local environment and of the role—both actual and perceived—that we play, whether we operate in a context with high levels of social instability, violence, and conflict, or more stable and predictable settings.
