The IFRC Solferino Academy helps National Societies of the IFRC network transform so they can be more fit for the challenges and opportunities of the future. We aim to help National Societies be more anticipatory, agile and innovative.

We do this in alignment with the transformation priorities of the IFRC Strategy 2030 and the IFRC Agenda for Renewal.

Our three areas of focus are;

 

We help leaders transform for the future
We support leadership in all its forms to develop the capabilities and insights needed to lead transformation, adapt to changing realities and to build systems and cultures for change.

 

We are a Think Tank for the IFRC Network
We provide platforms for new thinking and approaches where National Societies can learn from others and strengthen their own strategies and transformation processes.

We catalyse and promote Innovation
We develop initiatives that help promote innovation and the enabling environments necessary for it to thrive in our network.

“We believe in our collective power to build a future rooted in equality, dignity and courage. To achieve this, we inspire and support the IFRC network and beyond to generate transformative ideas, strengthen leadership, and anticipate and adapt to emerging risks and opportunities to better serve those in need. By fostering new thinking, principled leadership and innovation, we strive to unlock the full potential of our humanitarian efforts.”
