Protecting Youth from being harmed by Alcohol and other Drugs

Doing it Together

IBC’s Worldwide Network

As a non–governmental organisation IBC unites 40 national organisations under its umbrella.

International Blue Cross

International Blue Cross (IBC) protects people from being harmed by alcohol and other drugs. As a non-governmental organization, IBC unites 38 independent national organizations in 36 countries under its umbrella. That makes it possible for us to engage worldwide in protecting the most vulnerable people and offering them better perspectives. We advocate for a society free of violence, discrimination and addiction-related illness!

Fields of Intervention

  • alcohol and other drug prevention programmes
  • therapy and counselling
  • advocacy and lobbying

As professional actor in international development cooperation, IBC places the utmost importance on the sustainability of its programmes. Our specific focus is on alcohol and other drug prevention programmes for the youth. We achieve long-lasting impacts by equipping people to help themselves, simultaneously influencing decision-makers, pressing for effective policies to protect people. IBC is ZEWO-certified and holds consultative status at the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (UN ECOSOC).
