Organizational Context
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest volunteer-based humanitarian network. With our 192-member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies worldwide, we are present in every community, reaching some 160.7 million people annually through long-term services and development programs as well as 110 million people through disaster response operations and early recovery programs. The IFRC MENA Regional Delegation supports 17 National Societies and established its presence in Iraq 25 years ago. The IFRC MENA is the holder of the TPM for COVID-19 Vaccination Agreement for the Ministry of Health and Environment, Iraq which is supported by the World Bank. The Project is scheduled to start its activities in the last quarter of 2021 and includes field monitoring to 1,200 vaccination sites across Iraq. The Project will electronically collect the data in real time and create dashboard that summarizes and visualize findings and patterns. The IFRC is supported by the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS), one of the strongest members of the IFRC’s global National Society network. The IRCS is an independent local humanitarian actor in Iraq, with presence and access in all provinces across the country under its commonly recognized Fundamental Principles of humanity, impartiality, and neutrality, one of its main advantages over the other local humanitarian actors in Iraq. The IRCS derives its mandate as an auxiliary to the public authorities in the humanitarian field through an Iraqi Civil Codes Article 131 of 1967 (amended Article 40 of 1934 and a further amendment in 2001). However, IRCS remains completely independent without any government representation or influence. The IRCS has branches in each of the 18 governorates in Iraq, including the capital Baghdad and 77 offices in the field with 11,359 volunteers and 2,300 staff members and therefore represents the largest local humanitarian network in the country. The IFRC and IRCS will both abide by the seven Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement at all times during the implementation of this Project including humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality: https://www.ifrc.org/fundamental-principles.
