Our message
In 2014, the New Zealand Red Cross Board re-affirmed
international humanitarian work as an organisational
priority. This renewed focus reflects a 100-year history
of supporting Red Cross Red Crescent responses to
disaster and conflict around the globe. It also reflects
the challenges of the age: humanitarian crises of
unprecedented scale and complexity; expectations of
donors, governments, partner societies and the wider
sector; and the need to ensure that everything we do
makes the most effective use of limited resources. We
will not be able to build upon our history of successful
international contribution without new ways of working
and new relationships.
Our International Strategy 2015-2018 is the
next step in bringing those aspirations to life. It
shows how we will support the Red Cross Red
Crescent Movement, particularly in the Pacific and
offers a sharper focus so that our contribution
is meaningful and we can track outcomes.
As part of the humanitarian family of 189 Red Cross
Red Crescent National Societies, New Zealand Red Cross

New Zealand Red Cross International Strategy 2015–2018
will continue to respond to major international crises
with experienced and skilled people who display the
‘can-do’ attitude we are renowned for around the world.
These qualities have enabled us to make contributions
on the world stage that are disproportionate to our size
and location. We will continue to build our partnership
with the International Committee of the Red Cross
and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies.
It is however, with our sister National Societies in
the Pacific, where we will focus our greatest attention.
As a Pacific nation, already experiencing the negative
impacts of climate change, we need to build long-term,
significant partnerships in our region. These include
relationships with Pasifika communities in New Zealand
and working with Pacific Red Cross National Societies
as they set their own responses to the humanitarian
challenges their countries face.

History
Achievements
Red Cross has been an essential part of New Zealand
since 1915. In times of disaster, conflict and emergency,
our international programmes have offered assistance
in a neutral and impartial manner, independent of any
cultural, religious or political affiliations. The work of
New Zealand Red Cross is diverse and far reaching and
would not be possible without the combined efforts
of our members, volunteers, staff and supporters. The
difference we make to the lives of vulnerable people is
founded on this commitment and dedication as we work
to mobilise the power of humanity.
As part of the International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement (the Movement), we draw on the
capacity and knowledge of the largest humanitarian
organisation in the world and its unique international
standing. This strategy contributes an international
perspective to the overarching New Zealand Red
Cross Strategy Towards 2020 and is guided by the
International Federation of the Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies (IFRC) Strategy 2020, Saving Lives
Changing Minds.
For more than 100 years, New Zealand Red Cross has built
an excellent reputation as a reliable, trusted and effective
partner within the Movement. Key achievements include:
ɠɠ Supporting Asia-Pacific National
Societies after natural disasters.
ɠɠ Being the leading provider of world
class first aid training.
ɠɠ Organising a large deployment of health delegates to
refugee camps on Thai-Cambodia border in 1980s.
ɠɠ Deploying health specialists to Rwanda, former
Yugoslavia, Gulf Wars and Afghanistan in the 1990s.
ɠɠ Effective response to Indian Ocean tsunami,
Pakistan floods and earthquakes, conflict
in Afghanistan, Darfur, East Timor and
Solomon Islands during 2000s.
ɠɠ Large-scale response and recovery to the
2010/11 Christchurch earthquakes.
Challenges
We are facing an array of complex global challenges
including increased wealth disparity, insecurity,
population growth, technological development, ongoing health and hygiene crises, climate change, extreme
weather and environmental degradation. Economic
and political instability will continue to be an on-going
cause of conflict and violence. As the world around
us changes, more people will be in need of Red Cross
support. New Zealand Red Cross works hard to provide
timely, relevant, expert and caring assistance to meet
the needs of affected and vulnerable people at home
and overseas.
What makes New Zealand
Red Cross unique
Unique advantages of New Zealand Red Cross include:
ɠɠ an independent funding base
ɠɠ agile decision-making processes
ɠɠ flexible and innovative approaches
ɠɠ reputation of our people as practical, adaptable
and resilient
ɠɠ reputation of New Zealand as politically non-aligned,
bi-cultural and widely accepted.
ɠɠ strong links between New Zealand and Pacific Island
states through kinship, history and geography.
Our mission:
To improve the lives of vulnerable
people by mobilising the power
of humanity and enhancing
community resilience.

International Strategy
2015-2018
The three pillars of the International
Strategy 2015-2018 are:
1. Disaster risk management in the Asia-Pacific
region
2. Pacific National Society institutional
strengthening
3. Global health response to conflict and crises
New Zealand Red Cross will also address the crosscutting issues of gender, disability, humanitarian
diplomacy, environment and youth. A sharper focus will
enable New Zealand Red Cross to have greater impact
on the lives of vulnerable people.
This strategy has been designed through a wide
consultative process over twelve months. A multistakeholder workshop was held in Wellington in April
2014, followed by an external review conducted in
June that included consultations with senior leaders of
Pacific National Societies as well as internal and external
stakeholders. A draft of the strategy was circulated to
external partners in late 2014 for comment.
In terms of where we work, 2015 will see a greater
focus towards the Asia-Pacific region. In particular
we will continue to work in genuine partnership to
support the sovereignty, self-determination and success
of Pacific National Societies. We are committed to
becoming a more Pacific-focused organisation.
In terms of what we do, the International Strategy
2015-2018 focuses on addressing vulnerability to natural
disasters and climate change and supporting health
responses to global crises. We will also continue to
support collective action through the Red Cross Red
Crescent Movement by launching and contributing to
international appeals.
New Zealand Red Cross international programme,
where possible, will align with our domestic strengths.
Experiences such as the response and recovery to the
2010/11 Canterbury earthquakes, the incorporation

New Zealand Red Cross International Strategy 2015–2018
of refugee services and the closer relationships with
Maori and Pacific communities are critical elements of
developing a New Zealand Red Cross philosophy that
unites the organisation from local to global and back to
local.
We will continue to strengthen programme quality
through improved monitoring, evaluation and learning.
We will adhere to the Code of Good Partnership and
the Principles and Rules for Red Cross and Red Crescent
Humanitarian Assistance which govern the way New
Zealand Red Cross works with the Movement to provide
humanitarian assistance. We will support gender
equality through promoting women’s participation in all
decision-making processes.
We will work more effectively with the Movement’s
partners to maximise the benefits of our collective
resources. Additionally, New Zealand Red Cross will
strengthen collaboration with strategic stakeholders
outside the Movement.
As a responsive humanitarian organisation, our internal
processes such as finance, administration, ICT and human
resource functions will be efficient, effective and result
in value for money. New Zealand Red Cross will invest
in robust internal systems and technologies to ensure
transparency, accountability and responsiveness.
This strategy aims to diversify the funding streams
that support our international programmes. This will help
us remain needs focused, agile and innovative. This will
include an intentional plan to engage the private sector and
expand our government funding base while continuing to
recognise the valuable contribution of individual donations.
Pivot points
for change
Under this strategy we will:
ɠɠ Engage in a three-year planning cycle with annual
reviews.
ɠɠ Sharpen our focus to have greater impact.
ɠɠ Become a more Pacific-focused organisation both
domestically and internationally through diversified
recruitment, advisory groups and strategic use of
Pacific-experienced staff and delegates.
ɠɠ Increase investments in long-term Pacific communitybased development programmes grounded on
National Society priorities.
ɠɠ Support a clear accountability framework around
core support to Pacific National Societies.
ɠɠ Work with Red Cross Red Crescent Movement
partners under a collaborative framework.
ɠɠ Engage with new expert agencies to extend our reach.
ɠɠ Develop a strong culture of monitoring and
evaluation and programme quality and learning
to increase transparency, accountability and
responsiveness.
ɠɠ Support gender mainstreaming by promoting
women’s empowerment and gender equality across
all our programmes.
ɠɠ Expand the reach and impact of New Zealand
humanitarian innovations globally.
ɠɠ Have an international programme that is wellintegrated with domestic programming and reflects
the strengths of New Zealand Red Cross as a whole –
lessons are learnt in both directions.
ɠɠ Diversify funding sources to include private
sector partnerships and multiple streams
of government funding while maintaining
high levels of individual donations.
ɠɠ Prioritise evidence-based decision making
and programming. Ensure sex and age
disaggregated data is collected and appropriate
programme analysis conducted.

Pillar One: Disaster risk management in
the Asia-Pacific region
Goal: Strengthen disaster response and recovery and build resilient communities in
the Asia-Pacific region.
Disaster risk management is at the heart of Red
Cross action. It is our core business and our first
priority. We will work closely with Asia-Pacific
National Societies to strengthen community
resilience through increased preparedness,
response and recovery from natural disasters.
Communities in Pacific Island states are especially
vulnerable to increasing environmental unpredictability
brought about by climate change. Greater risk from
rising sea levels, drought, increased temperatures,
rainfall and erratic cyclone seasons are already having
severe humanitarian impact. Our first priority is to
support Pacific communities by strengthening capacity
for local humanitarian action.
New approaches are required to meet the
increasing challenges of our region. New Zealand Red
Cross will resource innovation. This means supporting
new approaches to old problems, creative use of
technologies and innovative programme design.2
New Zealand Red Cross will work with Movement
partners to achieve:
1. Rapid, effective and efficient
humanitarian response.
To achieve this, we will:
ɠɠ Provide timely, efficient and cost-effective
deployment of expertise, relief equipment and
distribution of humanitarian supplies in times
of crises.
ɠɠ Maintain a global telecommunications
Emergency Response Unit and explore
further innovative technological solutions for
humanitarian response.
ɠɠ Launch and manage public funding appeals.

2. Increased disaster preparedness
including community-based risk
reduction.
To achieve this, we will:
ɠɠ Support National Societies with improved
preparedness measures such as contingency
planning, disaster management exercises, prepositioned supplies, early needs assessments,
locally relevant early warning, evacuation
management, templates and reporting,
coordination mechanisms, accountability and
communications.
ɠɠ Provide IFRC Pacific Regional Office with
humanitarian policy support, expertise and
equipment in particular in the shelter and
WASH sectors.
ɠɠ Continue to support National Societies
through high-quality first aid and humanitarian
information, communication technology and
telecommunications programmes.
ɠɠ Recognise the importance of a strong legal base
to support disaster response and risk reduction.
ɠɠ Work with youth on disaster risk awareness
and reduction measures through safer schools
in the Pacific.
ɠɠ Support selected National Societies to mobilise
community-based disaster preparedness, risk
reduction and climate change programmes
that engage branch and volunteer networks.
3. Recovery from disasters and crises.
To achieve this, we will:
ɠɠ Support National Societies to assist affected
communities with transition from disaster
response to recovery and development.
ɠɠ Re-establish family and community networks
after crises and support recovery health and
psychosocial programmes.
Pillar Two: Pacific National Society
institutional strengthening
Goal: Pacific National Societies are strong, responsive and adaptive.
Pacific National Societies are central to
achieving the outcomes of this strategy. Our
approach to National Society development
is based on the understanding that each
sovereign National Society drives its own
direction, ambition and development.3
Organisational development strategies will be based
on a nuanced understanding of the realities of each
Pacific National Society. We will support Pacific National
Society planning processes that can better inform our
resource allocation. New Zealand Red Cross will support
Pacific National Societies to achieve:
1. Effective, well-coordinated resource
mobilisation and strategic planning.
ɠɠ Maintain commercial first aid programmes and
support income generation.
ɠɠ Strengthen financial skills development.
ɠɠ Support strategic planning processes.
2. Strengthened core capacities to
support effective service delivery.
ɠɠ Contribute to the funding of staff positions
such as those relating to leadership and
governance, strategic and operational planning,
financial and human resource management,
gender and diversity inclusion as well as
resource mobilisation.
ɠɠ Support regionally coordinated capacity
development initiatives.
3. Enhanced capabilities through
training and shared learning.
ɠɠ Continue prioritising opportunities for peer
to peer exchanges between Pacific National
Societies.
ɠɠ Strengthen relationships with Pacific partners
for mutual learning.
ɠɠ Continue to recognise and build upon local skills.
ɠɠ Provide relevant training opportunities to
Pacific National Societies based on local needs.
ɠɠ Support locally relevant emergency
preparedness and response training through
branch and volunteer networks.
ɠɠ Build capacity for Pacific National Societies to
deliver quality community based programmes.
New Zealand Red Cross will actively support the implementation of the National Society Development Framework endorsed at the 19th Session of
the General Assembly of the IFRC in 2013.

New Zealand Red Cross specialists have
supported access to healthcare and
alleviated the suffering of those affected
by conflict, natural disasters and crises
for more than 100 years. New Zealand
Red Cross will continue to strengthen this
vital contribution within the International
Red Cross Red Crescent Movement. We
recognise that good health is an enabler for
sustainable economic development and is a
significant driver of community resilience.
We will support the International Red Cross Red
Crescent Movement health response capacity by:
1. Mobilising high-quality health and
other related professionals.
In addition to excellent technical skills, New
Zealand Red Cross emergency health delegates are
considered resourceful, flexible and pragmatic. New
Zealand Red Cross will continue to provide highquality specialists in the following sectors:
ɠɠ emergency health including doctors, nurses,
hospital managers, food security specialists,
emergency and primary-health practitioners,
physiotherapists, first aid instructors and
psychosocial support advisers

ɠɠ WASH interventions.
Cross-cutting issues
New Zealand Red Cross recognises the
following areas as cross-cutting issues for
all humanitarian action and will highlight
these issues throughout the humanitarian
support it provides to sister societies.
Cross-cutting issue 1: Gender
New Zealand Red Cross will promote women’s
empowerment and gender equality within our
organisation and in our humanitarian work. This
includes promoting gender-sensitive approaches
to staff and volunteer capacity-building initiatives
as well as ensuring the identification of obstacles
to, and opportunities for, building the resilience of
women, men, boys and girls into the assessment,
planning, implementation and evaluation stages of our
programming.4 We will actively collect disaggregated
data as a basis for gender-inclusive planning.
Cross-cutting issue 2: Disability
New Zealand Red Cross will work to promote inclusive
programming and encourage social inclusion of
persons with disabilities. We will engage with the
disability community in our programme design and
implementation. We note the specific vulnerabilities
faced by people living with disabilities in times of
disaster and will take active measures to ensure their
needs are addressed.5
Cross-cutting issue 3: Humanitarian
diplomacy
At New Zealand Red Cross, standing up for our values
is imperative. We will achieve positive social change
through persuasion, diplomacy, effective communication
and partnerships. We act on behalf of those who are
most vulnerable and through our outreach efforts we
give these people a voice to achieve the changes that
are needed.6 A key focus for New Zealand Red Cross
will be to actively support National Societies to present
Pacific issues on a global level to ensure a strong Pacific
voice on issues such as climate change.
Cross-cutting issue 4: Environment
The impacts of climate change are being experienced
disproportionately by the most vulnerable. New Zealand
Red Cross will work to mainstream climate change,
disaster risk reduction and environment considerations
into all areas of our work. This includes integrating
climate change into disaster risk assessments,
programmes and activities, as well as raising awareness
of climate change and its humanitarian consequences.7
Cross-cutting issue 5: Youth
New Zealand Red Cross identifies youth as agents of
change. Taking into account the views and needs of
young people is of great importance to the International
Red Cross Red Crescent Movement. We will empower
young people by involving them in decision-making
processes in all levels and programmatic areas.8 Working
with youth at both the planning and implementation
levels will ensure the Movement remains relevant to the
next generation.

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
The Fundamental Principles were adopted in 1965
to guide the actions and behaviour of Red Cross
representatives worldwide. Red Cross shall be
guided in its work by the principles of International
Humanitarian Law, and shall respect the
Fundamental Principles of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement, namely:
HUMANITY
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without
discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield,
endeavours – in its international and national
capacity – to prevent and alleviate human suffering
wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect
life and health and to ensure respect for the human
being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship,
co-operation and lasting peace among all people.
IMPARTIALITY
It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race,
religious beliefs, class or political opinions.
It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals,
being guided solely by their needs, and to give
priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
NEUTRALITY
In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all,
the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement may not take sides in hostilities or
engage at any time in controversies of a political,
racial, religious or ideological nature.
INDEPENDENCE
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the
humanitarian services of their government and subject to the
laws of their respective countries, must always maintain
their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in
accordance with the Principles of the International Red Cross and
Red Crescent Movement.
VOLUNTARY SERVICE
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement is a voluntary relief organisation not
prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
UNITY
There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent
Society in any one country. It must be open
to all. It must carry on its humanitarian
work throughout its territory.
UNIVERSALITY
12
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement is a world-wide institution in which
all Societies have equal status and share equal
responsibilities and duties in helping each other.

TE NGĀKAU ATAWHAI
I ahu ngātahi mai te Rīpeka Whero o te Ao me te Kāhui Ānau
Kura i te wawata ki te āwhina – mā te kore whakapainga kanohi
– i a rātou e takoto tūākiri ana ki te kauhanga riri, ā, ko tana
whāinga mā tōna āheinga ā-motu, o te ao hoki, ko te ārai me te
whakamauru i te mamae o te tangata, ahakoa kei hea. Ko tana
pūtake, ko te tiaki i te oranga me te hauora, me te āta whakarite
i te whakaaro nui ki te tangata. Ka whakanuia te ngākau kotahi
o te māramatanga, te whakahoanga, te mahi ngātahi, me te
pūmau tonutanga o te rangimārie ki ngā tāngata katoa.
TE TŌKEKETANGA
Kāhore he whakapainga kanohi mō te noho whenua,

nui i te tuatahi ki a rātou e tino pēhi rawatia e ngā āwangawanga.
TE WHAKARAUPAPA
Kia pūmau tonu ai te whakamanawatanga o te katoa, ka noho

Ka tū motuhake te Rīpeka Whero o te Ao me te Kāhui Ānau
Kura. Ahakoa te whai wāhi o ngā kāhui ā-motu hei rōpū e whai

ahakoa ka whai pānga anō hoki ngā ture o ō rātou whenua ki

rātou ki te whakatutuki mahi mā ngā Mātāpono o te Rīpeka
Whero o te Ao me te Kāhui Ānau Kura i ngā wā katoa.
HE RATONGA TŪAO
He ratonga hāpai tūao te Rīpeka Whero o te Ao
me te Kāhui Ānau Kura, ā, e kore rawa ngā mahi
e kōkirihia hei painga ake mā tātou tonu.
TE KOTAHITANGA
Kia kotahi anake te Rīpeka Whero, te Kāhui Ānau Kura
rānei e mahi ana ki te whenua kotahi. Me noho wātea
tēnei rōpū ki te katoa. Me kawe haere taua ratonga i
āna mahi ngākau atawhai, puta noa i taua takiwā.
O TE AO
Ko te Rīpeka Whero o te Ao me te Kāhui Ānau Kura tētahi
ratonga o te ao katoa, ā, he rite tonu te tūnga o ngā kāhui
