Strengthening cooperation among international organizations

Description

Strengthening cooperation among international organizations involves establishing effective mechanisms for information sharing, joint planning, and coordinated action to address complex global challenges. This strategy aims to reduce duplication of efforts, bridge resource gaps, and harmonize policies, thereby increasing the collective impact of organizations. Practical measures include forming inter-agency task forces, standardizing communication protocols, and developing shared frameworks for monitoring and evaluation to ensure more efficient and unified responses to pressing world problems.

Implementation

In 1993, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has upgraded its cooperation with the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO), with which a partnership was signed. The Federation continued its close cooperation with NGOs, whilst aiming to have a regular presence at meetings with other important NGOs such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
