A) Objetivos de la promesa
In order to help address the needs of separated families and families of missing persons, the pledging parties are dedicated to take joint action to find solutions for the affected families and to strengthen Restoring Family Links as a core service of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
The pledge aims at ensuring the strength of the regional Restoring Family Links partnership between the German speaking National Societies of Austria, Germany and Switzerland (the so called RFL D-A-CH Network) and the mutual support between them. The aim is to strengthen cooperation, coordination and information sharing on an operational as well as on a strategic level. The D-A-CH Network shares best practices, develops joint tools, strengthens transregional advocacy with authorities, approaches for joint implementation, and shares these with the wider RFL network. Regular meetings take place, rotating between the participating National Societies.
In order to translate specific elements of the Restoring Family Links Strategy 2020-2025 and the RFL Resolution 2019 into concrete actions the pledging parties will develop a regional plan of action, based on contextualized needs and priorities, and identify appropriate indicators.
