The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian network.
Job Purpose
The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most disaster-prone in the world. In recent years, the frequency and intensity of hazards have increased, exacerbated by climate and environmental crises. To strengthen community resilience, National Societies have been working with nature for years in a variety of ways: improving food security, generating income, hazard mitigation measures. However, these activities often feel disjointed and lack a coherent vision, hindering our ability to understand their collective impact on the community resilience landscape in Asia Pacific. Without a clear vision of how different initiatives contribute to the bigger picture, it has been difficult to visualise change, measure progress, identify areas for improvement and optimise our collective efforts.
It is necessary to take stock of past and current initiatives involving nature undertaken by National Societies in the Asia Pacific region and to set common goals to join forces and increase our regional impact.
The consultant "National societies working with nature, Mapping and way forward in Asia Pacific" , in collaboration with the IFRC APRO Regional DRR coordinator and the British Red Cross (BRC) Regional DRR coordinator, is responsible for mapping the work with nature in the region up to 2024 in order to help RCRC National Societies in Asia Pacific as well as IFRC and international and national partners to understand the past and current status of the effort undertaken at national and regional level. Building on the mapping, the consultant will accompany representatives from selected National Societies to define a regional roadmap 2025-2030 that will frame their ambitions for the next 5 years and support the National Societies position themselves as key players in the region. National Societies participation to this mission is voluntary but the action is expected to involve between 6 to 12 National Societies of the region.
