Consulting support for technical-programmatic monitoring of German Red Cross interventions in Latin America At German Red Cross

Background:

The German Red Cross has defined in its roadmap for the Americas two focus areas and 7 sub-areas of intervention. Among these 7 subareas is support to develop actions to adapt to climate change, preparation for disasters, promotion of the adoption of anticipatory actions and response to disasters and crises. Within this framework, I develop various initiatives aimed at strengthening the capacities of the National Security Councils in Latin America.

These initiatives range from accompaniment to response actions to the cross-border migrant crisis, to work at the community level to improve resilience in the face of disasters. This work requires a precise technical approach that involves having human resources trained in the task of providing methodological solutions to the various challenges faced with its implementation.

Description of the consultancy: the German Red Cross has identified the need for temporary support for the programmatic and technical monitoring of various initiatives that it implements jointly with the National Societies of Red Cross (SNs) in Latin America. The contract would be made effective through the Honduran Red Cross.
