The Netherlands Red Cross proudly announces that the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has adopted its 121 Platform in contribution to the network’s compromiso de suministrar 50% de ayuda humanitaria en forma de dinero en efectivo de aquí a 2025. The innovative digital solution is a user-friendly tool designed to streamline the Cash & Voucher Assistance (CVA) process, making it easier, safer, and faster for people affected by disasters to meet their own needs.
Having been implemented in 10 countries, the 121 Platform represents a significant advancement in humanitarian technology. It assists humanitarian organizations in running secure CVA programmes by providing a robust yet simple interface that does not require advanced information management expertise –CVA knowledge is sufficient. The platform also provides users with real-time data, enhancing transparency and accountability. Combining this with local Financial Service Provider (FSP) integrations, the 121 Platform stimulates true localization by allowing National Societies to fully own their digital CVA processes at-scale.
“The IFRC’s adoption of the 121 Platform underscores our dedication to pioneering solutions that enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian aid. The platform not only modernizes our approach, but also ensures that aid reaches those in need swiftly and securely.”
Derk Segaar, Director de Asistencia Internacional de la Cruz Roja Neerlandesa

- Responsabilidad y privacidad por diseño: Garantiza la responsabilidad, la seguridad y la confidencialidad en todo el proceso de CVA.
With the IFRC’s endorsement, the 121 Platform is set to be deployed by National Societies around the globe, addressing the diverse needs of communities affected by emergencies. The collaboration highlights a shared commitment to leveraging technology to improve humanitarian outcomes, with an aim to onboard another 10 clients in the coming year.
