The International Federation is running or supporting programmes in more than 150 countries. These programmes assist millions of the world's most vulnerable people; victims of natural and man-made disasters, refugees and displaced people and those hit by socio-economic problems.
The International Federation's programmes are grouped into four main core areas: promoting humanitarian principles and values; disaster response; disaster preparedness; and health and care in the community.

********************
Perspectives régionales
La Fédération internationale, à travers les programmes qu'elle conduit ou soutient dans plus de 150 pays, vient en aide à des millions de personnes parmi les plus vulnérables de la planète: victimes de catastrophes naturelles ou dues à l'action de l'homme; réfugiés et personnes déplacées; populations touchées par des problèmes socioéconomiques. Les programmes sont axés sur quatre domaines essentiels: l'intervention en cas de catastrophe, la préparation aux catastrophes, la santé et l'assistance aux personnes au niveau communautaire, et la promotion des valeurs humanitaires.
Les programmes sont menés en coopération avec la Société de la Croix-Rouge ou du Croissant-Rouge du pays concerné. Les activités s'inscrivent dans le cadre défini par les stratégies d'assistance par pays ou par région et intègrent un volet de développement des capacités visant à renforcer les Sociétés nationales. Tous les programmes s'articulent autour de la Stratégie 2010, qui guidera l'action de la Fédération de 2000 à 2010. Huit programmes mondiaux visent à promouvoir dans chaque région du monde les priorités définies pour l'ensemble de l'organisation.
Tous les programmes sont financés par les appels que lance la Fédération. Un appel annuel est lancé chaque année pour répondre aux besoins déjà identifiés, et des appels d'urgence sont émis en cours d'année pour faire face aux catastrophes soudaines. Des rapports sont produits pour faire le point sur l'avancement des programmes figurant dans l'appel annuel ou sur les opérations prévues dans les appels d'urgence.

Perspectivas regionales
La Federación Internacional realiza o apoya programas en más de 150 países, con lo que presta ayuda a millones de personas que se encuentran entre las más vulnerables del mundo (víctimas de desastres naturales o causados por el hombre, refugiados y personas desplazadas, así como personas afectadas por problemas socioeconómicos). Los programas se centran en cuatro áreas esenciales: intervención en casos de desastre, preparación para desastres, salud y asistencia en la comunidad y promoción de los valores humanitarios.
Los programas se llevan a cabo en cooperación con la Sociedad de la Cruz Roja o de la Media Luna Roja de cada país. Las actividades se guían por estrategias de cooperación del país o región respectivo e incluyen un componente de fortalecimiento de la capacidad de la Sociedad Nacional. Todos los programas tienen en cuenta la Estrategia 2010 de la Federación. Además, hay ocho programas mundiales cuyo objeto es promover prioridades comunes al conjunto de la organización en todas las regiones.
Para financiar los programas, la Federación lanza llamamientos. Cada año, se elabora un llamamiento anual destinado a financiar las necesidades conocidas y, cuando sobrevienen desastres, se lanzan llamamientos de emergencia. El método para informar sobre los programas consiste en difundir información de última hora sobre los programas y las operaciones (los antiguos informes de situación).

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is the world's larges
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is the world's largest humanitarian organization, providing assistance without discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.
Founded in 1919, the International Federation comprises 185 member Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, a Secretariat in Geneva and more than 60 delegations strategically located to support activities around the world. There are more societies in formation. The Red Crescent is used in place of the Red Cross in many Islamic countries.
The Federation's vision: We strive, through voluntary action, for a world of empowered communities, better able to address human suffering and crises with hope, respect for dignity and a concern for equity.
Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. Vulnerable people are those who are at greatest risk from situations that threaten their survival, or their capacity to live with an acceptable level of social and economic security and human dignity.
Often, these are victims of natural disasters, poverty brought about by socio-economic crises, refugees, and victims of health emergencies.

La Federación Internacional de Sociedades de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja es la mayor organización humanitaria del mundo y presta asistencia sin discriminación por razón de nacionalidad, raza, creencias religiosas, clase social u opinión política.
Fundada en 1919, la Federación Internacional está integrada hoy por 185 Sociedades de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja, una Secretaría en Ginebra y más de 60 delegaciones estratégicamente situadas para apoyar las actividades que se llevan a cabo en todo el mundo. Hay más Sociedades en formación. En muchos países islámicos se utiliza la Media Luna Roja en lugar de la Cruz Roja.
La visión de la Federación es: Aspiramos, a través de la acción voluntaria, a un mundo con comunidades más fuertes, capaces de hacer frente al sufrimiento humano y situaciones de crisis, impulsadas por la esperanza, el respeto a la dignidad y la búsqueda de equidad.
Nuestra misión consiste en mejorar la vida de las personas vulnerables movilizando el poder de la humanidad. Las personas vulnerables son las que corren mayor riesgo de ser víctimas de situaciones que pongan en peligro su supervivencia o su capacidad de vivir con un nivel aceptable de seguridad social y económica y de dignidad humana. A menudo son ellas las víctimas de desastres naturales, los afligidos por la pobreza a causa de crisis socioeconómicas, los refugiados y las víctimas de emergencias sanitarias.

La vision de la Fédération est: Nous aspirons à l'engagement volontaire pour un monde de communautés plus épanouies, à même de faire face à toutes les souffrances humaines avec la force de l'espoir, le respect de la dignité et le souci de l'équité.
Notre mission est d'améliorer les conditions d'existence des personnes vulnérables en mobilisant le pouvoir de l'humanité. Les personnes vulnérables sont celles dont la survie même est menacée ou qui risquent de ne plus jouir d'un niveau acceptable de sécurité socio-économique et de dignité humaine. Il s'agit souvent de victimes de catastrophes naturelles, de la pauvreté qu'engendrent les crises socioéconomiques, de crises de santé, ainsi que de personnes réfugiées.

Code of Conduct for The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disa
Code of Conduct for The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief.
The Code of Conduct for The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief, was developed and agreed upon by eight of the world's largest disaster response agencies in the summer of 1994 and represents a huge leap forward in setting standards for disaster response. It is being used by the International Federation to monitor its own standards of relief delivery and to encourage other agencies to set similar standards.

Stigma is the attitude that comes from the powerful combination of shame and fear.
Discrimination is the behaviour derived from that attitude.
The only way of making progress of making against this epidemic is to replace shame with solidarity and fear with hope.
El Salvador: cake a taxi, tackle discrimination -- In the Salvadorian capital, San Salvador, an innovative project to reduce stigma and discrimination has had surprising results.
The project -- also rolled out in Guatemala and Honduras -- uses taxi drivers and their taxis to spread anti-discrimination and anti-stigma messages, whilst educating about HIV prevention.
In Central America, the highest incidence of HIV is found in urban areas and along transport routes. Taxi drivers seemed the obvious choice for the project as they come into contact with a wide range of customers. They are typically good communicators and, within the confines of their taxis, can act as confidants or informal advisers.
The average taxi ride lasts 15 minutes -- enough time to engage in meaningful conversation.
The Salvadorian Red Cross Society selected four taxi cooperatives for the project. In total, 150 taxi drivers received training in anti-stigma, non-discrimination and HIV prevention.
Once trained, drivers receive a range of materials -- leaflets, stickers, red ribbons, key rings, coin holders, seat covers and polo shirts -- all bearing anti-discrimination and HIV-prevention messages. The materials act as great conversation starters and the common taxi becomes an anonymous space where HIV-related issues can be discussed.
The project's greatest achievement is to have encouraged taxi drivers and their passengers to discuss the nature of stigma and discrimination surrounding an often taboo subject. The drivers have reported an increased awareness of how seemingly innocent jokes and comments can fuel stigma and discrimination. And importantly, underpinning any conversation is important information about HIV prevention. Film taken in San Salvador, El Salvador. With a special thanks to the passengers that give written consent to appear in this film.
The Project "transporting awareness and respect" in Central America was funded by the Swedish Red Cross.
The production on this film was funded by DFID - Department for International Development UK. The film was commissioned by the principles and values department of the International Federation.

By Bridget Gardner, International Federation's head of delegation in Myanmar.
On 2 May 2008 tropical cyclone Nargis hit the coast of Myanmar and devastated large parts of the low-lying Irrawaddy delta. Winds exceeding 190 kilometres per hour ripped through the Myanmar's biggest city Yangon for more than ten hours. Homes were flattened, more sturdy structures damaged, trees uprooted and power lines downed. In rural parts of the country up to 95 per cent of homes were wiped off the face of the earth.
This is a situation that the country has not dealt with before and the scale of the needs is clearly massive. Casualty figures continue to rise. The International Federation estimates that more than two million people have lost their homes or been severely affected.
Bridget Gardner has been the International Federation's head of delegation in Myanmar since January 2006. Bridget has extensive Red Cross Red Crescent experience. Prior to taking on the role in Myanmar, she worked with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Geneva and with the International Federation in Laos and the Solomon Islands.

The global climate is changing, and people all over the world are confronting new, more severe risks. Climate change will have major implications for humanitarian organisations like the Red Cross / Red Crescent. The expected increase of floods, droughts, intense cyclones, heat waves, sea level rise, pests and diseases will affect millions of the most vulnerable people all over the word, in particular the poorest people in the poorest countries. Already the world is confronted with an increase in weather related disasters, further complicating the work humanitarian organisations, whose capacities to respond are already stretched. It is therefore crucial for the Red Cross/Red Crescent to understand the changing risks and prepare for them rather than only respond to the consequences; from local communities all around the world to the International Federation headquarters in Geneva.
