<p></p><p>The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world&rsquo;s largest humanitarian network, with 191 member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. IFRC uses the Triple R &ndash; response, resilience and respect &ndash; 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 &ndash; our raison d&rsquo;&ecirc;tre &ndash; of strategic and operational coordination, humanitarian diplomacy, National Society development, and accountability.</p>
<p>
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.</p><br>
<p></p>
<p>
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.</p><br>
<p></p>
<p>
The IFRC Secretariat is implementing a EURO 15m grant - the Global Thematic Programmatic Partnership (GTPP) focusing on capacity enhancement of National Societies. The programme has two key objectives:</p>
<p>
To enhance the institutional and technical capacity of National Societies</p>
<p>
To enhance coordination with the IFRC network and with key stakeholders, especially at regional and national level</p><br>
<p></p>
<p>
In keeping with the broader objectives, the GTPP focuses on achieving 4 Results related to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Result 1: Enhanced disaster preparedness and response capacity with a focus on Anticipatory Action</li>
<li>Result 2: Strengthened Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness</li>
<li>Result 3: Strengthened Institutional Capacity</li>
<li>Result 4: Strengthened RCRC leadership, collaboration, coordination, alignment</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<p>
The programme will be implemented across three tiers &ndash; global, regional and country level, with 15 National Societies participating in the programme and 15 discrete thematic areas. The PMEAL Delegate will be a critical part of the global coordination team tasked with successful delivery of the programme, taking an impact-oriented approach.</p>
