IFAA Representatives | 1 First aid educators IFAA Representatives The IFAA (International First Aid Attestation) Representative supports the applicant National Society and represents the IFRC GFARC during the International First Aid Attestation (IFAA) process. His/her main role focuses on: Reviewing the first aid training self-assessment and annexed materials to provide feedbacks through the self-assessment feedback form (IFAA stage 1) Conducting the Monitoring & Evaluation field visit and reporting on it to the GFARC (IFAA stage 2) Facilitating the draft of the IFAA action plan during the Monitoring & Evaluation field visit, upon request from the National Society. Our team of IFAA Representatives comprise NS members, employee or volunteer, who have a sound strategic knowledge in first aid teaching as well as extended field experience in first aid education. They possess a very good understanding of the IFRC International First Aid, Resuscitation and Education Guidelines and their related first aid skills. They have extensive experience with interactive, learner centered trainings. They also have a very good command of written and spoken English, since the IFAA process is held in English – additionally, proficiency in languages relevant to the region(s) or sub-region(s) of support is among their strong assets. The IFAA Representatives are identified and trained by the GFARC (volunteer for the GFARC but belonging to a National Society). Currently, there is a team of 18 IFAA Representatives based within the five IFRC regions: International first aid, resuscitation, and education guidelines 2020. https://www.globalfirstaidcentre.org/ IFAA Representatives | 1 IFAA Representatives | 2 Sammy Kamanu, Kenya Red Cross Society Auwal Muhammad, Nigerian Red Cross Society Paul Okot, Uganda Red Cross Society Colette Servina, Red Cross Society of Seychelles Shelly Longmore, Canadian Red Cross Priscila Paladino, Argentine Red Cross Dr Jeffrey Pellegrino, American Red Cross Dr Gantulga Batbyamba, Mongolian Red Cross Society Louis Chow, Red Cross Society of China – Hong Kong branch Ambrose Lee, Singapore Red Cross Society Ma Qinghui (Summer), Red Cross Society of China Marcus Aust , German Red Cross Teiko (Tea)Chikviladze, Georgia Red Cross Society Manfred Dubov, Estonian Red Cross Zamir Duisheev, Kyrgyzstan Red Crescent Charbel Aidamouni, Lebanese Red Cross Rasha El-Masri, Egyptian Red Crescent Society Ibrahim Ghouleh, Palestine Red Crescent Society Dr Samir Smisim, Saudi Arabia Red Crescent Authority Grégory Jouvion, French Red Cross International first aid, resuscitation, and education guidelines 2020. https://www.globalfirstaidcentre.org/ IFAA Representatives | 2 IFAA Representatives | 3 Main projects First aid guidelines IFAA International first aid, resuscitation, and education guidelines 2020. https://www.globalfirstaidcentre.org/ IFAA Representatives | 3.
