The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, with a network of 191-member National Societies. The overall aim of the IFRC 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.
The IFRC is a part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement), together with its member National Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The work of the IFRC is guided by the following fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.
IFRC is led by its Secretary General, and has its Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The Headquarters are organized into three main Divisions: (i) National Society Development and Operations Coordination; (ii) Global Relations, Humanitarian Diplomacy and Digitalization; and (iii) Management Policy, Strategy and Corporate Services.
Over the past few years, the European region has typically seen an average of 2-3 active Emergency Appeal operations and has initiated approximately 15 DREF operations annually. Additionally, the Health, Disaster, Crises, and Climate Unit is providing support to several programs, either directly or through cluster and country offices. In February 2022, a significant shift occurred in the disaster and crisis landscape of the region when a new phase of armed conflict began in Ukraine. The escalation and widespread nature of the hostilities have had a profound impact on all of Ukraine, raising significant concerns about the safety of civilians and critical civilian infrastructure. Within a span of four weeks following this intensification, it was estimated that more than 6.5 million people had been displaced within Ukraine, and over 4 million people from Ukraine had sought refuge in neighboring countries.
Project Background
The EU4Health project, funded by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG Santé), entails collaboration between the National Red Cross Societies in Ukraine and 25 EU/EAA countries. It aims to offer mental health support to the people displaced from Ukraine through helplines, outreach efforts, and group activities conducted in multiple languages.
The participant National Societies include Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Ukraine.
The project started on 8 June 2022, with a planned duration of 36 months, concluding on 7 June 2025.
The IFRC Regional Office for Europe (IFRC RoE) is responsible for the overall program coordination among partners, as well as direct operational support during the implementation to the National Societies. The IFRC RoE MHPSS team is in Budapest and provides overall support, in addition to MHPSS technical delegates in-country offices.
The IFRC Reference Center for Psychosocial Support (PS Center) has been involved in the response to the Ukraine and affected countries since the beginning of the crisis and has developed online training materials, training videos, guides, podcasts, and webinars, as well as briefings on topics as requested by Red Cross/Red Crescent National Societies.
In collaboration with the IFRC Psychosocial Center, IFRC RoE ensures that standardized approaches and tools are applied, and peer support and technical capacity development of delegates are available. In addition, IFRC RoE leads and coordinates the learning events, mid-term review and final evaluation.
