Neparc Plus

NEPARC PLUS; THE NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR AFRICAN RED CROSS AND RED CRESCENT SOCIETIES (NEPARC) AND COLLABORATING SOCIETIES

NEPARC PLUS represents a collaborative effort in which African and Donor Dependent Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies come together to leverage our collective strength, share resources, and maximise impact. Our primary goal is to transition member societies toward self-sustainability by reducing their reliance on traditional donor funding, instead fostering long-term partnerships with key donors and partners.

Our vision is to empower each Member Red Cross and Red Crescent Society to take full ownership of their development.

We aim to support, mentor, and guide these societies to uphold the highest standards of governance, accountability, and transparency, enabling them to provide exceptional services to the most vulnerable communities.
