Strengthening National Society’s statutory and complementary framework as well as our policy and strategy, where required and as needed

A) Objectifs de l’engagement:

Korea is a highly connected and interdependent society in terms of technology, information sharing and internet connectivity. A good public medical service and health care system have led the country to enter a super-aging society with rapid change and transformation in many aspects of the society. This environment puts more pressure on the Republic of Korea National Red Cross(KNRC) to become more agile and relevant organization to address the issues and challenges concerned in helping people in need.

 

While experiencing unprecedented and complex situations nationally and internationally today, it became clearer that KNRC needs to be more equipped with enhanced capacity and mechanism. For this, KNRC needs to review its Red Cross Law and Statutes and other framework for the future.

 

It is believed that this approach and focus will help KNRC to be more sustainable, accountable and transparent entity in its service and delivery, eventually leading us to reach the global through strong local action.

  • Participate in discussion and contribute to implementation of measures for addressing common challenges we are facing in Humanitarian action, including strengthening NS capacity  within the Movement based on the decision and the resolution.
  • Conduct the OCAC and identify the areas to be improved to strengthen NS’s capacity.
