IFRC is 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 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.

IFRC has five regional offices in Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas. IFRC also has country cluster delegations and country delegations throughout the world. Together, the Geneva Headquarters and the field structure (regional, cluster and country) comprise the IFRC Secretariat.

IFRC has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment and other forms of harassment, abuse of authority, discrimination, and lack of integrity (including but not limited to financial misconduct). IFRC also adheres to strict child safeguarding principles.

Under the management of the Secretary General and the guidance of the Audit and Risk Commission, the Office of Internal Audit and Investigations provides an independent high-quality audit, investigation and consulting service that is designed to add value and give management objective assurance on the effectiveness of the Federation Secretariat’s risk management framework and internal control environment. The Department is part of the Secretary General’s Office

Strategy 2030 was adopted by the General Assembly in November 2019. As part of the strategic transformation action 3: “Ensuring trust and accountability”, the IFRC committed to fully embrace a culture of ethical practice and to place personal and institutional accountability at the heart of all our work. The IFRC deepen its efforts to prevent, identify and respond to instances and allegations of behaviour that are contrary to our humanitarian principles and values.
