IFRC-DREF in Action

IFRC-DREF is one of the oldest humanitarian pooled funds for emergency response to small and medium disasters Originally designed to respond to small- and medium-sized disasters, the fund has evolved to include support for anticipatory action. Acting before a disaster allows us to respond even more effectively to different crises - saving more lives and livelihoods, minimizing impact, and preventing suffering. Join us as we delve into the work of Disaster Response Emergency Funding (IFRC-DREF) driving impactful change at the world’s largest humanitarian network, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
