About BRAC/BRAC International

BRAC is an international development organisation with the vision of a world
free from all forms of exploitation and discrimination, where everyone has the
opportunity to realise their potential. BRAC uses an integrated model to
change systems of inequity through social development programmes, humanitarian
response, social enterprises, socially responsible investments, and a
university. BRAC is a global leader in developing cost-effective, evidence-
based programmes in conflict-prone and post-disaster settings and has been
ranked the #1 NGO in the world for the last three consecutive years by NGO
Advisor.

BRAC’s unique holistic approach to poverty alleviation includes a range of
core programmes in economic and social development. BRAC’s institutional
expertise on successfully implemented programmes is applied in countries where
their models are either replicated or adapted according to the country
context. Together, BRAC aims to help people realise their potential and create
opportunities through multi-stakeholder collaboration.

The organisation is specialised in piloting, perfecting, and scaling
innovations to impact the lives of millions. With over 120,000 staff
worldwide, BRAC is now almost completely self-sustainable through its network
of social enterprises and investments and operates in 12 countries across Asia
and Africa Bangladesh where it was born, Afghanistan, Liberia, Myanmar,
Nepal, Philippines, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and

BRAC International was set up in 2009 as a non-profit foundation in the
Netherlands to govern and manage all BRAC entities outside Bangladesh, except
for affiliates in the UK and the US with offices established in The Hague, New
