The prioritisation challenge in focus: ICRC

In this episode of A Matter of Priorities, we explore the significant budget cuts faced by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and their far-reaching consequences. Established in 1863, the ICRC provides critical protection and assistance to people affected by armed conflict. However, in 2023, the organisation announced cuts amounting to 440 million Swiss francs, a drastic 16% reduction in its budget.

Alice speaks with Olivier Ray, ICRC’s Director of Mobilisation, Movement, and Partnership, about the challenges of implementing such cuts, the ethical dilemmas involved, and the impact on both ICRC staff and the communities they serve. The interview was done in March 2024.

Guest:
Olivier Ray, Director of Mobilisation, Movement, and Partnership at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)

Host:
Alice Obrecht, Head of Research & Impact, ALNAP
