Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“In our polarised world, the IFRC and the ICRC have a key role to play in finding and sharing that greatest common denominator that transcends all differences…”

Staff, Europe

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“Not all countries are equally polarised – and so the challenge is different for different National Societies. But we must be clear that this is a challenge we all face, and rise up to it.”

National Society Lead

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“There is no neutral position, the society is demanding you take a side, even not taking a side is seen as not neutral.”

National Society Leader, Asia Pacific

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“It is a very complicated world in which we live in… the big transformations that we have to prepare for are the polarisation between East and West or global north and global south, whatever you want to call it.”

National Society Leader, MENA

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“Our National Society has to find a way of getting the Government to trust and be committed to our course financially without impeding on our fundamental principles.”

Staff, West Africa

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“It’s supposed to be one National Society one vote, democratic, but there are groups and structures set up that undermine that, powerful, wealthier National Societies get to have more say and it becomes more ‘western’.”

Secretary General, African Region

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“The challenge lies not only in acknowledging polarisation but in actively using our principles to bridge divides and build consensus. We have to move beyond our comfort zones to do this.”

Advocacy Lead, Africa

Strategy 2030 Midterm Review

“In times of heightened polarisation, principles serve as our compass to navigate through turbulent waters with integrity and trust. If we can’t do this, no one can.”

Comms lead, LAC
