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 IFRC Country Delegation in Azerbaijan supports the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society (AzRCS) in strengthening institutional capacity, disaster preparedness systems, anticipatory action mechanisms, and community resilience programming. Azerbaijan faces a range of natural hazards including floods, earthquakes, landslides, droughts, and extreme weather events. Strengthening early warning systems, anticipatory action, and community-based disaster risk reduction is a key priority for reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience.
The SAFER-AZ programme, funded by European Union (EU), supports Enhanced Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (EVCA), early warning dissemination, anticipatory action mechanisms, community preparedness planning, and capacity-building initiatives including First Aid (FA) and Psychological First Aid (PFA).
The purpose of the position is to support the IFRC and the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society (AzRCS) in strengthening community resilience and disaster risk reduction capacities under the SAFER-AZ Programme, with a particular focus on high-quality delivery of participatory assessments, establishment and support of Community Disaster Response Teams (CDRTs), implementation of awareness sessions, and integration of First Aid (FA) and Psychological First Aid (PFA) within preparedness activities at community level. The incumbent will work under the supervision and guidance of DRR Senior Officer.
