What does National Society Development mean?
National Society development, as a driver of local action, helps National Societies to establish and maintain a responsible and sustainable organisation that delivers, through volunteers and employees, relevant local services to meet the needs, reduce the vulnerabilities and strengthen the resilience of the community, in full compliance with the Fundamental Principles.
Definition inspired by the Policy on the Development of National Societies - IFRC
How can National Society Development Support be understood ?
‘National Society Development Support is defined as any support provided by an external actor to a National Society, based on the request and priorities of the National Society, that purposefully contributes to helping the National Society to achieve and maintain a sustainable organisation able to deliver relevant, quality, and accessible services in full respect of the Fundamental Principles.’
Our ambition behind NSD
Our ambition behind NSD
Supporting the development of National Societies is nothing new for the French Red Cross: managing the World First Aid Reference Centre since 2012, creating regional intervention platforms (PIROI - 1999; PIRAC - 2005; PIROPS - 2007) and their associated disaster preparedness and response programmes, and the RIPOSTE programme (2019) are just a few examples.
However, the ambition behind this theme is new: by 2030, the French Red Cross aims to become a leading organisation in supporting more locally-led action.
To this end, the French Red Cross has chosen to strengthen its approach, expertise and resources in the area of National Society Development.
Please feel free to explore the specific logical framework for the NSD theme for the period 2023-2025 to gain a deeper understanding of how the French Red Cross plans to develop this theme, which is at the heart of its partnership with other National Societies.
