French component of the International Red Cross and Crescent Movement, the French Red Cross (CRF) is active on the national territory and internationally.

In France: A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. She is also at the head of 12 regional health and social training institutes.
Internationally: the CRF operates in 16 countries alongside National Societies and through 2 regional platforms (PIRAC and PIROI), mainly on the themes of Health and Disaster Risk Management.

This results in an articulation of emergency, post-emergency, crisis exit and reconstruction activities aimed at maximum efficiency. The objective is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to allow populations to regain their complete autonomy. The partnership with the Red Crosses and Red Crescents of the countries of intervention (SNO) is a strong axis of the CRF's operational strategy.
