The ICRC has been working in Guinea since 1970, carrying out protection, assistance, prevention and cooperation activities throughout the country from its delegation in Conakry and its sub-delegation in Nzérékoré, Guinée Forestière. The Conakry delegation coordinates some of its cooperation and prevention activities with the ICRC's Sierra Leone delegation.
