This component focuses on institutional strengthening and sustainability, with the goal of ensuring that every branch of the Colombian Red Cross is robust and efficient.
To promote the strengthening and development of the organizational, sustainability, and mission-related capacities of the regional branches in accordance with the bylaws of the Colombian National Red Cross Society, in coordination with the various units of the National Directorate and partner organizations.
Identify the response capabilities of the Colombian Red Cross branches and promote their strengthening to ensure a timely response to the humanitarian needs of local communities.
To promote the strengthening of organizational capacity in the regional branches of the Colombian National Red Cross Society, based on identified weaknesses, with a focus on sound management and continuous improvement to fulfill the humanitarian mission.
Identify and promote the creation and strengthening of income-generating sources tailored to the context and needs of the local chapters, ensuring their self-sustainability and prioritizing those chapters with special needs.
Since the branches of the Colombian Red Cross are administratively and financially autonomous bodies, they need to generate diverse sources of income to strengthen their financial capacity and ensure the full implementation of their organizational and mission-related activities in accordance with the Fundamental Principles that bind the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Sustainability, understood as the ability to generate revenue, through the identification, promotion, creation, and strengthening of resource sources appropriate to the local context, enables the development of coordination activities between the national and regional branches to provide guidance and support in the formulation and implementation of new business units. These units, in addition to contributing financially to the regional branch, are often created to address the basic needs of highly vulnerable communities.
At the Colombian Red Cross, we want to be close to you, especially when you feel anxiety, sadness, or stress. Additionally, if you have any concerns or complaints about our services, this space is open to listen and help you.
