First aid policy
All 192 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are involved in first aid. Collectively, our network reaches millions of people every year with first aid education, training and services at the community level.
This policy aims to support National Societies in the provision of quality first aid education, including by promoting the use of innovation and technology to help address gaps and reach even more communities.
External Quality Assessment: Audit services provided by the IFRC Office of Internal Audit & Investigation (OIAI)
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (IIA standards) require an Internal Audit function to conduct an assessment of conformity – at least – on a five-year basis.
KPMG Ltd. (KPMG) was mandated in August 2021 to perform an external quality assessment of IFRC’s Internal Audit services (Internal Audit or IA). The KPMG team which oversaw the execution of the external quality assessment fulfills the requirements regarding independence, expertise, and experience according to the IIA standard 1312.

National Society Development (NSD) policy
Strong, independent, self-sustained, well-functioning and trusted National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (National Societies) are key to providing life-saving humanitarian action and supporting community resilience and local development to achieve the ambitions outlined in Strategy 2030.
This policy reaffirms the IFRC's commitment to continuous National Society development (NSD)and defines its focus and key principles. Furthermore, the policy sets clear rules for all NSD support within the IFRC network, provides the framework for the support by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and inspires and guides the governments and other organizations that engage with the IFRC network on NSD.
This policy encompasses the policy level commitments from the National Society Development Framework (2013) as well as the National Society Development Compact (2019), which both provide further guidance on practical aspects of NSD and NSD support.
