Canadian Red Cross aid worker Erwan Cheneval recently took on an important role in helping coordinate the flood response caused by Cyclone Chedza in Madagascar. As Operations Manager for the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC), Erwan helped liaise between the Malagasy Red Cross and the IFRC to see the operation through its final two months of implementation.
It wasn't Erwan's first emergency response experience. He has previously been deployed to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan, and we blogged about his work in Sierra Leone as part of the Ebola response.
The Canadian Red Cross, with support from the Government of Canada, is investing in operational leadership and supporting aid workers like Erwan to fill such crucial roles in international Red Cross response. This includes Operations Manager training for Red Cross aid workers to help them build the knowledge and equip them with the right tools to manage emergency operations of various sizes and complexities.
We wish Erwan the best of luck on his next deployement. This time, he will support operations aimed at assisting Burundi refugees in both Rwanda and Tanzania.
