Working in partnership

In 2014, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) zone office, through the Nicaragua country coordination office, worked closely with the National Society to implement the results from the country plan in 2012.

One of the main results in 2014 was the National Society’s election of a new Board of Directors in March 2014, who have been promoting a work plan for the comprehensive strengthening of the National Society since they were elected. This process includes the review and adjustment of its statutes and regulations, the training of leaders on issues of governance and management, the application of regulatory standards on all its branches and enhancing international cooperation and relations with the government of Nicaragua. In the humanitarian sphere the Nicaraguan Red Cross (NRC) responded in a timely manner to people affected by the earthquake, it strengthened its relationship with the National System for Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Response (SINAPRED is its acronym in Spanish), implementation of initiatives on climate change, the protection and recovery of livelihoods in the communities, and the promotion of voluntary blood donation and first aid services at recreational centres and beaches in the country.

In addition, the Nicaraguan Red Cross worked together with partners in several complementary actions. The cooperation agreement was elaborated and promoted as a means to channel efforts and support in the same direction and to strengthen the National Society in several areas.
