The Canadian Red Cross (CRC), like many other National Societies, is a part of the national response ecosystem. Its place within that system is however not cemented in any legislation or overarching agreement that defines its role as Auxiliary to Public authorities. As such, there is no clear expectation of the CRC or resources to ensure that CRC can meet those expectations. During the pandemic, the CRC managed to establish a temporary mechanism to increase its readiness for national response, secure funding in anticipation of activation from various levels of government. In this session , the CRC proposes to share its journey and hear from others who are on a similar trajectory with a view to compare notes and share ideas about this common issue.

"Planning is everything, a plan means nothing." Dwight D Eisenhower This simple Metaphor is the essence of our lessons learnt. The more Information you gather at the beginning of the process, the better is your position to decide in times of uncertainty and ambiguity. A profound Business plan is important for bargaining with your board about resources need to reach your targets. But on a day to day basis you need this long-term vision of where to arrive in a decade. If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The Red Cross and Red Crescent Research Consortium (RC3) is currently working on a two-year collaborative project to document, showcase and reflect on how partnerships between academia and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement can support our volunteers. This project particularly addresses the following questions: How has our Movement used research to support volunteering until now? Was it helpful and, if so, in which ways? What have we learnt? Could science help volunteers in their role as deliverers of humanitarian services and could it serve as a source of inspiration, innovation and decision-making in the future? What opportunities exist across our Movement for further research into these topics? Join us to learn more about the project and discuss how your national society could get involved!
