The Red Cross/Red Crescent is the largest volunteer movement in the world with about 100 million members. Norcross is the Norwegian member National Society that is involved in a number of international emergency operations, both protection of human life in natural disasters through IFRC, and in armed conflicts through ICRC. Norcross has also an extensive bilateral international development cooperation with other member National Societies of the Federation, and multilateral development cooperation through the IFRC.
This Organisational Review is commissioned by Norad and is related to the international development cooperation activities of Norcross that are funded by Norad. The Terms of Reference of the Organisational Review is designed to capture the essence of Norcross as a channel for long term development cooperation in terms of its likely effectiveness as an instrument for Norwegian government support to developing countries. Hence the Review
focuses on the quality of the system rather than on the services themselves.
