Purpose of this guiding document is to inform the process of the IFRC Youth strategy development as implementation of the Strategy aims at both engagement of regional RC RC Youth networks and at their strengthening throughout the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
This guidance aims at heightening understanding pertinent to processes of both establishment and facilitating relevance of Red Cross Red Crescent Youth networks to scale as this is important for both National Societies and the Red Cross Red Crescent Youth leaders.
These guidelines should serve as an operational tool outlining a common approach to youth networking initiatives with the IFRC. They build on the IFRC Guidelines for Red Cross Red Crescent networks (2009), Discussion paper on Red Cross Red Crescent Youth Networks (2012), and Global Meeting on Red Cross Red Crescent Youth Networks (February 2012). In fact, it serves to outline specific particularities and minimal requirements relating to Red Cross Red Crescent Youth networks.
