The Federation of Blue Cross and Blue Crescent Organisations is a non-governmental humanitarian agency of the Blue Cross and Blue Crescent movement, that forms unique cooperative alliances and brings together a network of humanitarian non profit community service organisations, non governmental organisations, social enterprises, church missions, Royal Houses, Sovereign Orders, Orders of Chivalry, and fraternal organisations etc., that have come together under the FBCO umbrella. In times of crisis when the scale and urgency of a disaster calls for decisive action FBCO Cooperative Members collectively and quickly raise the much needed support to provide effective and swift humanitarian assistance to reach vulnerable people in crisis. The scale of modern humanitarian challenges frequently exceeds the coping capacity of individual humanitarian organisations, whereas together, we will be stronger and better able to overcome these humanitarian challenges, united under the emblems of the Blue Cross & Blue Crescent.

The Federation of Blue Cross and Blue Crescent Organisations fundamental objective as mandated by the Movement is to work with its partner member organisations that become part of a FBCO National Cooperative, so that together we can be a strong force in responding, organising, coordinating and leading disaster emergency response missions, as well as supporting, sponsoring and overseeing the direction of an FBC National Society in cooperation with the Federation of Blue Cross & Blue Crescent Societies (FBC).

Under the FBCO umbrella, we also bring together a network of small, grassroots NGO and CSO organisations, and projects, who’s activities may otherwise be overlooked and where FBCO members collaborate and endeavor to promote and support each others organisations to enable them to have the greatest impact on people’s lives. FBCO would like further collaborative partnerships with other small unsupported humanitarian organisations so if you run a humanitarian non profit community service organisation, non governmental organisation, social enterprise, church mission, then you may be interested in your organisation joining the Federation of Blue Cross and Blue Crescent Organisations (FBCO) and becoming a key participant in a FBCO National Cooperative of NGOs that will be ‘stronger together for all humanity’ in providing relief assistance and supporting large-scale emergency crisis.

‘Stronger together for all humanity’ emphasizes that our FBCO partners are critical to address the humanitarian challenges in our communities, the country and around the globe. The Federation of Blue Cross and Blue Crescent Organisations believes in harnessing the strength of humanity through its FBCO National Cooperative partnerships, that enable us to build resilient communities that have the capacities to cope with the social, political, economic, health and environmental disparities that contribute to their vulnerabilities. We thank all our FBCO Cooperative partners for their support in helping us care for vulnerable people through the humanitarian actions of our FBC National Societies.

The Federation of Blue Cross & Blue Crescent Organisations work respects the Movement’s fundamental principles, notably those of humanitarianism, volunteerism, moralism, transparency, impartiality, empowerment, sustainability, neutrality, benevolence and respect.
