Introduction: A New Chapter in Organizational Transformation
Following the onset of the Ukraine and Impacted Countries Crises Emergency Appeal, the Slovak Red Cross (SRC) significantly intensified its humanitarian support, operating jointly with the IFRC under an Emergency Appeal. For the SRC, the period between 2023 and 2025 represents more than a phase of program implementation. This case study is defned by bold self-examination, candid refection, and a commitment to evidence-based transformation. Through a coordinated journey of organizational assessments, the SRC took decisive steps toward building a National Society that can lead locally, partner globally, and serve people with greater agility and impact.
This case study explores the meaning and impact of these assessments for the Slovak Red Cross—why they were undertaken, what they revealed, and how they are actively shaping the organization’s trajectory.
