ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION

The International Rescue Committee IRC is one of the largest humanitarian
agencies in the world, providing relief, rehabilitation and post-conflict
reconstruction support to victims of oppression and violent conflict. IRC has
worked for over eight decades and today is involved in over 40 countries
across the globe. We address both the immediate, lifesaving needs of conflict

societies. IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all
aspects of our work, creative partnerships and thorough accountability to
those we serve. The IRC is an international agency with offices in London, New
York, Berlin and Geneva.

IRC’s International Programs focus on various relief, rehabilitation, and
development programs for refugees, internally displaced persons and those
affected by conflict in different regions worldwide. Each region is managed by
a regional team that oversees the region’s country programs, headed by a
Regional Vice President RVP and Deputy RD DRD, and supported by a Regional
Grants Director RGD. These programs focus on different sectors, including
health; water and sanitation; children and youth protection and development;
protection; gender-based violence protection; economic development; civil
society development; community-driven reconstruction; and refugee camp
management.
