The ICRC’s Innovation Facilitation Team (IFT) commissioned this evaluation of its activities between 2018 and 2023. It aimed to gauge the organizational changes brought about by the IFT’s approach and to understand opportunities and requirements for innovation within the ICRC, in order to shape the future innovation strategy. Through 62 interviews, a survey, four team discussions, and nine in-depth case studies, we gathered perspectives from people across the ICRC. The evaluation delves into the team’s accomplishments, examining how the innovation approach aligned with innovators’ needs, addressed uptake barriers and fostered transversal teamwork. It summarizes the IFT’s impact on the ICRC, highlighting new collaborations, staff training in strategic foresight, and the development of over 100 proofs of concept for innovations.
