Bolivia

The activities of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Bolivia are carried out by its team in Lima, Peru, and supported by its regional delegation in Bogotá, Colombia. Since 1933, we have been providing advice and technical support to the prison authorities, the Bolivian police, the armed forces, universities and the Bolivian Red Cross, among others, which has meant working closely with Bolivian authorities, institutions and other organizations.

The ICRC and the Bolivian Red Cross Society provide medical aid to people at the border between Peru and Bolivia.

Our work with the Bolivian Red Cross

The ICRC cooperates with National Societies to further their institutional development and their role as auxiliaries to the public authorities for the safe delivery of relevant humanitarian services. We also help National Societies to strengthen their capacities so that they are able to provide an effective response in natural disasters, armed conflicts and other situations of violence. We coordinate with other International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement partners, working with them in a complementary manner and adapting our cooperation to the specific context of each country and the needs of each individual National Society.
