Versión en español sigue abajo

The Regional Delegation of the American Red Cross in Latin America and the Caribbean works to ensure effective documentation of our programing in the region and to ensure that we communicate our key messages across different audiences.

To this end, the communications team has developed a support guide that sets out some of the suggest­ed formats for materials produced by the regional delegations and National Societies. The materials and links provided with this support guide follow the branding standards set out by American Red Cross headquarters and look to standardize the types of documents that are produced across the region. This, to ensure that our brand is strengthened and recognized at every level – local, national, regional and international.

The guide focuses on 4 specific categories of materials: fact sheets, human-interest stories, case studies and newsletters. These are only some of the options that can be used for communications materials and reflect a few that are frequently used by regional delegations.

The materials outlined in this guide are meant for external audiences at various levels, as further detailed in each individual description. It is important to note that the templates can be further adjusted to the individual needs of each communications piece or campaign and are meant as a guideline only.
