Organizational Context

About the IFRC

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian network, with 191-member National Societies. IFRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, together with its member National Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

IFRC works to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people before, during, and after disasters, emergencies, and other crises. The work of IFRC is guided by its fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.

IFRC has its Headquarters in Geneva; five regional offices in Africa (Nairobi), the Americas (Panama), Asia Pacific (Kuala Lumpa), Europe (Budapest), and MENA (Beirut); and country and cluster delegations across all five regions.

About the Office of the Internal Audit and Investigations

IFRC's Office of Internal Audit and Investigations (OIAI) comprises two teams: audit (internal audit and external audit coordination) and investigations. OIAI provides independent assurance and investigation services to IFRC.

OIAI's investigations team responds to instances of misconduct; owns IFRC's whistleblowing system (Integrity Line) and its intake function; carries out prevention activities; and provides training and capacity building on investigations, intake, audit, assurance, and integrity topics, to IFRC and its members.
