A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. She is also the head of 12 regional health and social training institutes.

Internationally, the CRF intervenes in 16 countries alongside National Companies and 3 regional platforms (PIRAC, PIROI and PIROPS), on the following themes: Health and Disaster Risk Management.

In the same way as in the professions it develops and implements in France, the French Red Cross internationally inscribes all its missions in a sustainable humanitarian action scheme. This results in an articulation of emergency, post-emergency, crisis exit and reconstruction activities aimed at the best efficiency. The objective is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to allow populations to regain their full autonomy.

Post environment

The French Red Cross (CRF) has carried out actions in Chad since the 1970s, and has had a permanent delegation on site since 1998. From 2001 to 2009, the first programs conducted by the CRF focused on access to water and sanitation in the city of N'Djamena, then this program expanded from 2004 in the Western Logone region.

In 2010, the CRF set up an intervention to combat malnutrition in the Batha region. From 2012, it has re-attled its approach by integrating elements for improving food safety and maternal and child health.

Today, the CRF is present in the Mayo Kebbi-Est regions and in the city of N'Djamena, in close collaboration with the CRT and the State's decentralized services.

Cameroon

The delegation of the French Red Cross (CRF) in Cameroon has been accompanying the Cameroonian Red Cross (CRC) permanently since 2011 at the request of the CRC as provided for by the principles of the CRCR Movement. The capacity building of the CRC is at the heart of its mandate: it is the reason and condition of its presence and all its actions on the territory. The first collaboration between the CRF and the CRC was established in 1967 with the opening of a permanent delegation of the CRF in Cameroon, in Yaoundé in 2009.

Currently, the CRF intervenes in the Far North and Eastern regions in the fields of health/nutrition, the RCMP, support for the development of national society, social cohesion. It has a coordination office in Yaoundé (Central Region), a sub-delegation in Maroua and a base in Batouri.
