The ICRC appeals for 2.8 billion Swiss Francs for its operations in 2023
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is appealing for 2.8 billion Swiss francs to help it meet the humanitarian needs of people affected by armed conflicts and other situations of violence in 2023.
Our annual appeal for 2023 was reduced to reflect that overseas humanitarian assistance budgets are expected to decrease over the next two years. With a revised overall budget of 2.4 billion CHF, we still need significant financial support this year to cover our humanitarian operations and enable us to be where we are most needed and make a difference in the lives of tens of millions of people.
The ICRC's global appeal consists of 2.5 billion Swiss francs (CHF) for its field operations and 292 million for its headquarters.
The budget for its field operations is allocated as follows:
Established in 1863, the ICRC works in over 100 countries around the world.
