The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network, with 191 member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. IFRC uses the Triple R – response, resilience and respect – to deliver on Strategy 2030. IFRC responds to disasters and crises, ensuring timely, coordinated and locally led humanitarian action. IFRC supports its members in building community resilience in the areas of climate and environment, health and wellbeing, and migration and displacement. IFRC promotes respect for our fundamental principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality, including in our work on values, power and inclusion. The IFRC focuses throughout on our core mandate – our raison d’être – of strategic and operational coordination, humanitarian diplomacy, National Society development, and accountability.
IFRC is led by its Secretary General and has its Headquarters in Geneva and five regional offices in Africa (Nairobi); the Americas (Panama); Asia Pacific (Kuala Lumpur); Europe (Budapest); and MENA (Beirut) as well as representation offices, service centres and delegations across the globe.
The IFRC has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment and other forms of harassment, abuse of authority, discrimination, and lack of integrity (including but not limited to financial misconduct). IFRC also adheres to strict child safeguarding principles.
The Secretariat provides the central capacity of the International Federation to serve, connect, and represent National Societies. The Secretariat’s focus includes providing support to the IFRC governance mechanisms; setting norms and standards; providing guidance; ensuring consistency, coordination, and accountability for performance; knowledge sharing; promoting collaboration within and respect for the RCRC Movement; influential representation with global level partners; and expanding engagement with partners. The Secretariat’s headquarters is organized under three divisions, including National Society Development and Operations Coordination (NSDOC). The NSDOC Division is in turn organised in three Departments, each of them led by a Director. The Disasters, Climate and Crises (Prevention, Response & Recovery) Department consists of four teams, of which Climate & Resilience is one.
Addressing the climate and environmental crises is the first Strategic Priority of IFRC’s Strategy 2030, which stresses the urgency to massively scale-up climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in view of increasing disasters and climate-related impacts on vulnerable people. The IFRC Global Climate Resilience Platform (GCRP), launched in 2022, aims to foster an unprecedented scale-up of locally-led climate action to enhance community resilience.
Under the GCRP, a new Fund has been created. The Global Climate Resilience Platform Pooled Fund (GCRP-P) allows donors to provide more flexible, multi-annual and multi-country funding. It provides a reliable means for partners to channel global funding towards locally-led adaptation, thus giving them a means to reach their own climate funding commitments. Locally-led adaptation is underpinned by Climate Action Journeys, allowing for harmonized programming at scale. The GCRP-Pl operates around calls for proposals to qualifying National Societies that are assessed by a Review Committee with funding allocated accordingly.
The objectives of this consultancy are to advise and coordinate on: Fund applications from National Societies; implementation, monitoring and reporting of funded projects; evaluate the modality and update templates, as needed; communications and knowledge management.
1) Reviewing and advising on NS applications
2) Supporting implementation and coordination with NS receiving grants, in close collaboration with IFRC regional and in-country counterparts
3) Carrying out an evaluation of the GRCP-P to date
