A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. She is also at the head of 12 regional health and social training institutes.
Internationally, the CRF operates in 16 countries alongside National Societies and 2 regional platforms (PIRAC and PIROI), on the following themes: Health and Disaster Risk Management.
In the same way as in the professions that it develops and implements in France, the French Red Cross internationally places all its missions in a sustainable humanitarian action plan. This results in an articulation of emergency, post-emergency, crisis exit and reconstruction activities aimed at maximum efficiency. The objective is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to allow populations to regain their complete autonomy.
Our association also wants to strengthen its presence and the promotion of its priority commitments within the International Movement.
By joining us, you will share our commitment and ethics and develop your skills.
The French Red Cross (CRF) has been operational in the CAR since 2004. In partnership with the host national society, the Central African Red Cross (CRCA), the CRF intervenes mainly in the areas of:
The provision of care: initial and continuing paramedical training, strengthening of health systems, fight against communicable diseases (HIV, tuberculosis, Malaria, etc.) and non-communicable diseases (malnutrition), health of the mother, newborn and child. child, community health, psychosocial support.
Public health: access to drinking water and sanitation, hygiene promotion, waste management, food security, agricultural development and livestock breeding.
Ad hoc crisis management, based on needs on the ground: emergency response to crises and recovery (population displacements, etc.).
The strategy of the CRF in the Central African Republic consists, in partnership with the Central African Republic, of contributing to reducing the structural causes of the vulnerabilities of the populations of Bangui and Mambéré Kadei, and of responding to the specific needs linked to crises through the development of integrated interventions responding to the essential needs of populations, while providing technical assistance to the authorities in the fight against HIV-AIDS and TB.
The Central African Red Cross (CRCA)
The CRCA coordinates with the French Red Cross with state health authorities at the national, regional and local level. The anchoring of the CRCA in the communities makes it possible to optimize relations with local authorities. This anchoring occurs in particular through the network of volunteers which also ensures real sustainability of the project’s activities, even after its end.
