Annual Report 
2022

World Health Summit, among others. It was 
also actively involved with global health boards 
such as the Roll Back Malaria Country Regional 
Support Partner Committee and the Malaria 
Commodity Forecasting Initiative.
The dangers faced by people experiencing 
migration and displacement
– and the 
humanitarian needs in origin, transit and 
destination communities along migratory 
routes – were addressed at scale by the IFRC 
and National Societies working together across 
borders and regions to help people in need on 
land and at sea.
In 2022, the IFRC worked with at least 155 
National Societies actively supporting the 
assistance and protection needs of people 
on the move.
Eight new population movement operations were 
launched in 2022. The largest, the Emergency 
Appeal for 
Ukraine and impacted countries
, 
supported 20 National Societies to respond to 
the needs of a projected 3.6 million refugees and 
displaced people. 
The IFRC continued to support National Societies 
with longer-term programming for migrants, 
refugees and host communities at national and 
regional levels. This included the world’s largest 
humanitarian cash programme for displaced 
communities in Türkiye (the Emergency Social 
Safety Net programme), and the new REPAIR 
(REunification PAthways for IntegRation) pro-
gramme in Europe. 
The Global Route-Based Migration Programme 
involves 57 implementing National Societies 
across Africa, the Americas, Europe, and the 
Middle East and North Africa, with support from 
across the network. 
Some 100,000 people were reached by this 
programme in 2022, through its three priority 
operational pillars. These are: 1) direct human-
itarian assistance and protection through 
Humanitarian Service Points; 2) enhance the 
capacities of National Societies through better 
route-based coordination, and 3) engage in 
humanitarian diplomacy to foster enabling pol-
icy and operational environments.
HSP@Sea, operated in partnership with SOS 
Mediterannée, provided humanitarian services 
during rescue operations on the Mediterranean 
Sea. More than 3,000 people were saved in 54 
rescues in 2022, including 931 minors and 583 
unaccompanied children.
The global challenge of values, power and 
inclusion requires an intersectional approach 
to addressing the vulnerabilities that can be 
experienced by individuals and communities in 
achieving and maintaining access to services, to 
education and opportunities, and freedom from 
violence, discrimination, or exclusion.
In June 2022, the IFRC’s General Assembly 
adopted a Protection, Gender and Inclusion 
(PGI) Policy. The tools developed to support 
National Society adherence to the new policy 
included the 
PGI Operational Framework
and an 
Organizational Assessment Toolkit
. 
Across IFRC-supported emergency operations, 
more than 6.3 million people were reached 
by PGI activities in 2022. Nearly 240,000 
people were reached directly by longer-term 
programmes, with more than 50,000 additional 
people reached by social inclusion programming.
Throughout the year, the global Red Cross and 
Red Crescent Education Network continued 
to expand. By the end of 2022, the network 
included representatives from more than 75 
National Societies from the five IFRC regions. 
Several National Societies – including Ukraine 
and neighbouring countries affected by the crisis, 
and Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Lebanon – were 
supported to address education-related human-
itarian needs as part of their regional or country 
emergency response plans. 
The IFRC supported dedicated initiatives to 
strengthen community engagement and 
accountability approaches in 77 National 
Societies throughout all regions this year. In addi-
tion, a Community Trust Index pilot project was 
initiated, with the main goal of giving National 
Societies the tools to measure and explore 
community trust and develop evidence-based 
recommendations, actions, and plans to 
increase trust.
