Fiji Red Cross is working to strengthen branch capacity in disaster awareness, preparedness and response by placing strategic support staff at two divisions: Labasa in the north and Lautoka in the west.
Two AVID volunteers have been requested to support staff at theses divisions. Each volunteer will assist branches in their area with disaster management activities, volunteer recruitment and retention, organisational development and administration.
