Programme summary: The International Federation continues to support the Red Cross of Serbia its efforts to provide efficient and quality services to the most vulnerable groups within following programmes:

• Health and care (The focus is on HIV and AIDS as well as Voluntary Blood Donation activities.)

• Organizational development (The focus is on developing sustainable systems, procedures and increasing the staff’s capacities.)
