Junior Consultant, Operational Movement & Membership Coordination (OMMC)/Quality

Organizational Context

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) works globally to help 160 million people every year with and in support of 191-member National Societies. The IFRC’s vision is to inspire, encourage, facilitate and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by National Societies, with a view to preventing and alleviating human suffering, and thereby contributing to the maintenance and promotion of human dignity and peace in the world. There is a National Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in almost every country in the world and we support them both in their programming and in developing their capacities as strong, local organisations.

We draw upon the unparalleled community-based expertise of our member National Societies and almost 14 million volunteers. We channel this local strength to influence global development and humanitarian initiatives to improve standards and operations towards the achievement of globally agreed goals. We are committed to making humanitarian assistance as local as possible and as international as necessary. National Societies are strong local actors and our support of them directly contributes to strengthening local assistance. National Societies are part of the communities they serve and are there to support their long-term needs, not just in times of disaster.
