A GLOBAL AGENDAof the Federationwe believe

FA/CBFA canreducethe number of deaths, injuries andimpact from disasters.

FA/CBFA canreducethe number of deaths, illnesses and

impact from diseases and public health emergencies.

FA/CBFA can increaselocal community, civil society andRed Cross Red Crescent capacity to address the most

urgent situations of vulnerability.

FA/CBFA canpromoterespect for diversity and humandignity, and reduce intolerance, discrimination andsocial exclusion.


8/31

FA/CBFA has the potentialto support

NS to achieve these goals

FA/CBFA can be the route into

strengthening foundation/traditional

activities to develop our work with

vulnerable communities
