What is the Red Solutions Hub?
The Hub is a central platform for actionable knowledge. It organizes everything we know about developing strong, sustainable National Societies into structured Capability Solutions, each focused on a key area of organizational strength.
Capability Solutions Framework
Each Capability Solution includes:
Process Map
Visual models outlining how resources are transformed into results through inputs, activities, decisions, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. Click the shapes for further explanations, resources and examples, and to drill down into sub-capabilities.
Enabling Resources
Curated repository covering people (roles and competencies), governance, data, tools, technology, facilities, and equipment needed to build a strong capability.
Community of Practice
Access to IFRC's peer-to-peer learning network, fostering collaboration and direct support from experienced practitioners.
Metrics & Assessment (planned)
Standardised indicators and self-assessment tools to measure progress, compare with peers, and identify priority development areas.
Action Learning Tools (planned)
Tools to help you iteratively plan, implement, reflect, and learn your way to stronger capabilities.
