The National Society Capacity Exchange and Enhancement Platform Project is led by four international National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies: Turkish Red Crescent, British Red Cross, Bulgarian Red Cross, and Red Cross Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

 

The first Steering Committee Meeting was held on 12.04.2021  with the attendance of the Project's Steering Committee; Alper Küçük, Dr. Nadezhda Todorovska, Rajko Lazic and David Peppiatt, and Project Management Group; Merve Yaşayan, Siana Karsheva, Alexander Pendry and Zaklina Ninkovic with the purpose of discussing arrangements for drafting the project terms of reference, establishing the technical working groups both in cash and protection and defining their technical focus together with agreeing on a roadmap to help shape the work of the technical working groups going forward. 

The National Society Capacity Exchange and Enhancement Platform Project is a set of interrelated capacity development and knowledge dissemination activities designed to achieve specific objectives within a particular time frame. Regarding this, the ongoing effects of covid-19 were held during the discussions of the Steering Committee Meeting. 

Due to the interconnected nature of our world, the adverse impacts of covid-19 spread even more rapidly than the disease itself.  Despite the unprecedented effects, all project partners are keen on the implementation of the project activities. The National Society Capacity Exchange and Enhancement Platform Project's initial activities were decided to start through online platforms and have taken a proactive approach to providing more involvement from the start of the Project.
