Our Finances
In 2023, the Swiss Red Cross’ (SRC) activities in development cooperation and emergency response reached a historic high of 58 million. The war in Ukraine is still at the center of attention of our activities. However, natural disasters, such as the earthquake in Syria, drought responses in Ethiopia and the conflict in Sudan called for SRC support.
The development of the National Societies (NSD) become an increasingly important field of activity for the SRC. In 2023, more efforts and funds have been invested in this area. This trend emphasises our decision to implement projects exclusively via the local Red Cross / Red Crescent National Society for more sustainable results and less administrative costs on a long run.
Despite a year of multiple crises, donations and fundraising close on a lower level. At the same time, the figure for 2022 was exceptionally high with an unrivalled solidarity for the most vulnerable, especially in the Ukraine. Our governmental and institutional partners provide continuity with regular funding and an increase in individual giving for humanitarian aid allow to adequately respond to the current crisis.
