IFRC 2024 Branch Development Framework

Attachments

Red Cross and Red Crescent National Society branches are uniquely positioned to serve in the frontline of service delivery because they have members and volunteers who come from the very same communities they are helping. They speak the same language, understand the unique cultural norms, and are best positioned to collect and respond to people’s view. For this reason, they are best placed to facilitate community engagement and encourage sustainable local action. This Branch Development Framework aims to define and set a Federation-wide vision and pathway towards building a strong local structure of branches throughout our Network. It provides detailed guidance for those responsible for, and engaged in, branch development work.
