International Blue Cross (IBC) is a Christian value-based, politically independent non-governmental organisation. Its roots date back to 1877, when the Blue Cross Movement began to grow in Switzerland. The international umbrella organisation which now is IBC, was founded in 1886, currently comprising 38 national Blue Cross organisations in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. The IBC network focuses on tackling alcohol- and other drug-related health-, social- and development issues through advocacy, prevention, treatment, and aftercare programmes. IBC promotes this approach through a joint global voice and enables exchange and learning between Blue Cross Organisations around the world. IBC implements international development and cooperation programmes in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. IBC has a consultative status at the UN ECOSOC. In order to deliver on its strategy, IBC receives support from its members and conducts fundraising activities. IBC is certified by Swiss ZEWO a member of the Swiss Development Cooperation Network (KoGe).
