Review of Strategy 2010 - International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Strategy 2010 was the first attempt to create a strategic plan for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (hereinafter referred to as ‘the International Federation’).

It was developed as an aspirational strategy and introduced a number of important paradigm shifts.

- the need to contribute to the empowerment of communities and vulnerable people;

- the importance of capacity building for National Societies and communities;

- vulnerability as the lens to direct all International Federation activities;

- the desire to focus on common areas of work;

- the need to strengthen ways of working effectively as an International Federation;

- advocacy as an action agenda to be developed.
