Some Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) volunteers have contracted the virus and there will likely be many more in the months to come, even as precautions are taken. Sadly, some have already died due to the disease. Consistent with the IFRC Policy on Volunteering, National Societies (NS) have a well-acknowledged duty of care to their volunteers. This includes the responsibility to reduce the risks volunteers face and to find solutions for those who fall ill but lack access to medical care or other critical support. It is essential that the NS leadership champions and strongly advocates for the duty of care toward volunteers, both through implementation of consistent actions and solutions throughout the organization (including HQ and branches) as well as through rallying support from partners, such as government authorities.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div

Because RC\/RC societies play a crucial role in the overall emergency disaster response, disruptions in service should be minimized in order to maintain public trust and confidence in the RC\/RC emergency response capabilities. As such, RC\/RC management should incorporate business continuity considerations into the overall design of their emergency response model to proactively mitigate the risk of program disruptions.\n\nThis planning guide is an assembly of existing standard operating procedures, plans and best practices that will explore the key components of a Business Continuity planning process.

While attracting and managing resources are key elements for NS Financial Sustainability, it goes hand-in-hand with an effective positioning (based on its core business and mandate) of the NS, and sustainable business models and structures. Along with it, the organisation\u2019s ability to manage risks and opportunities are essential.\n\nThe study on NS Financial Sustainability made clear that there are three interlinked domains that contribute to strengthening a National Society\u2019s Financial Sustainability, and an underpinning fourth domain:\n<ol>\n \t<li>Positioning the National Society within the national humanitarian ecosystem, and designing National Society programmes and structures in the light of the National Society\u2019s mission and strategy, as well as realistically available resources,<\/li>\n \t<li>Attracting financial resources into the National Society,\u00a0in particular building\u00a0revenue streams that will remain stable into the future,<\/li>\n \t<li>Managing financial resources accountably and\u00a0transparently, and\u00a0sharing data to enable effective strategic decision-making and financial risk management, and<\/li>\n \t<li>Strategic National Society leadership involvement is critical to enable the efforts in these three areas to collectively contribute and result in becoming more financially sustainable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6690 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/volunteeringredcross.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2.-Financial-Sustainability.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/volunteeringredcross.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2.-Financial-Sustainability.jpg 816w, https:\/\/volunteeringredcross.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2.-Financial-Sustainability-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/volunteeringredcross.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2.-Financial-Sustainability-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/volunteeringredcross.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2.-Financial-Sustainability-128x72.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>NS Financial Sustainability Guide and Toolkit for COVID-19<\/strong>\n\nThese Guidance and the Toolkits are intended to assist National Societies to reflect on its short-term and long-term Financial Sustainability in response to COVID-19 and its economic impact.
