International Federation of Red Cross Job Vacancies 2021
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian organization, with 192 member National Societies. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, our work is guided by seven fundamental principles; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.
In response to the massive humanitarian needs wrought by the COVID-19 outbreak around the world, IFRC has scaled up its Global Emergency Appeal, initially launched on 31 January 2020, with some portion of the Appeal operation allocated to supporting the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) to meet the needs of people affected by COVID-19 in Malaysia. In view of the scaled-up IFRC-supported operation, the capacity of IFRC to support the MRCS in coordinating the COVID-19 is being bolstered. At the same time, due to the increasing vulnerability of the communities because of the social impact of COVID-19, there may also be potential new operations within Malaysia in case of a disaster or crisis.
