SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will support IFRC's
polio eradication activities and the delivery of measles and other
life-saving vaccine preventable disease (VPD) interventions in priority
countries. Through its network of national Red Cross and Red Crescent
societies, IFRC has unparalleled community access and provides critical
health services and activities in areas which are otherwise
inaccessible to CDC due to security restrictions. Extending
immunization services to these areas of unreached children is critical
to achieving global eradication of polio.
IFRC is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it is one of
the three arms of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement, the world's largest humanitarian network whose mission
includes protecting life and health in conflict countries and other
emergencies. National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are a
network of community-based volunteers who support the public
authorities in their own countries as independent auxiliaries to the
government in the humanitarian field. The community-based volunteers
provide local knowledge and culturally competent expertise, which
provides unparalleled access to communities. IFRC comprises 190-member
Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies globally, a secretariat
based in Geneva and more than 60 country offices strategically located
to support activities around the world.
