Reporting on resolutions – 33rd International Conference

Introduction

The 33rd International Conference adopted eight resolutions in 2019. 

To encourage follow-up and facilitate implementation and reporting on progress, six thematic pages (one for each resolution) have been created, each providing a summary of the resolution and its call for action.

Members can submit a short and simple progress report at any time by filling in the online reporting form. To access the form, please go to the page of the resolution that you would like to report on by clicking on the corresponding link below.

Reporting is voluntary and members of the Conference are responsible for the content of all information submitted. Members are reminded that the proceedings of International Conference and all documents submitted must conform to the Fundamental Principles of the Movement. It is the responsibility of each members to ensure that its submitted reports are free from controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature, based on the Article 11.4 of the Statutes of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

    • A page for that specific resolution will open.
    • Click on the “Go to the online reporting form” button.
    • Complete the required fields and the questionnaire.
    • Once you have completed the report, click on the “Submit” button. The administrator will validate the report and publish it online.

    ***Before submitting the report and for ease of report preparation, Conference members can download the Word version of the questionnaire.***

    Please note that all reports should be submitted online.

    Although there is a single standard questionnaire for all six resolutions, a separate individual report is required for each resolution.
  • Who submits reports

    The responsibility for reporting on resolutions lies with each Conference members.
  • When to report on resolutions

    To enable dynamic reporting, the system will be open from July 2021 to 30 June 2024. Conference members can provide their implementation update anytime at their own convenience within this period.

    For this long period, Conference members can submit more than one report on the same resolution to demonstrate the advancement of their commitments. The reports will be differentiated by date. For example, Conference members can submit an update in 2022/2023 to show progress on implementation and then submit a final report on the final accomplishments in 2024.
     
    The information received will be compiled and posted on the website to show the progress made and, most importantly, the impact of the Conference outcomes on our daily humanitarian work. In addition, based on this information, a final consolidated report on the outcomes of the 33rd International Conference will be prepared for the 34th International Conference in 2024.
