Overview
During the reporting period, the Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) continued the implementation of its programmes and activities in line with its strategic directions. The programmes supported by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) received very limited funding in general. However, the programmes continue to be implemented mainly with bilateral support and the support from new partners. The programmes are supported bilaterally by Movement partners such as the American, Austrian and German Red Cross Societies, and external partners like DIPECHO with co-funding of the Danish and Icelandic RCs, the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria, and the Eli Lilly & Co. Foundation.
The Armenian Red Cross Society reached several significant achievements in acquiring new partners and / or repositioning itself with the traditional ones. In spite of that, the ARCS is still facing challenges with its local resource mobilization. As one step forward to the development of its resource mobilization, the National Society adopted its 2012-2020 Communication Strategy.
