The Everyone Counts report is a flagship publication of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). It is primarily based on the data we collect from our network of 192 National Societies, an annual process undertaken since 2012. Over the past nine years, this has enabled us to establish a unique database on the IFRC’s humanitarian capacity, resources and activities worldwide. We rely on the efforts of National Societies to report their data on the key indicators that are best able to convey this global overview of the network, allowing us to conduct analysis and better inform our decisions as an organization.

In 2020, as the world battled the COVID-19 pandemic, major economic and health impacts amplified existing inequalities, created new ones and destabilized communities. As the enormous socio-economic impact of the disease was wide-ranging but dis- tributed unequally across the world, our National Societies were required to respond to a unique set of challenges. We are extremely proud of our network’s achievements in overcoming these unprecedented challenges and ensuring that key activities con- tinued to be delivered in support of communities. This Everyone Counts report anal- yses the bigger picture of our network, and an additional edition, expected to be published later in 2022, will be devoted to our National Societies’ response to COVID-19.
