About the Organisation
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a non-partisan, non-profit, non-religious humanitarian organization that helps refugees around the world. IRC implements programs to promote durable solutions among internally displaced people, refugees and host populations through public health, sanitation, shelter, rehabilitation, and education projects. The IRC has worked with refugees since 1933 and is present in 40 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, as well as the United States, as part of a resettlement support program. The IRC is an organization committed to freedom, human dignity, and self-reliance. This commitment translates into quality resettlement assistance, comprehensive emergency aid, rehabilitation, and advocacy for refugees.
The IRC began operations in Chad in 2004 to respond to the humanitarian crisis caused by the influx of refugees from Darfur to eastern Chad, with an intervention in the Ouré Cassoni refugee camp. Assistance to Sudanese refugees has now extended to the management of ten camps in the east and one camp in the west with assistance to refugees and local communities in health, nutrition and water, hygiene and sanitation.
In 2012, to respond to drought and food insecurity, IRC extended its geographic coverage in the Guéra region. IRC is currently working in three health districts, Mongo, Mangalmé and Melfi, and provides services for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition to the local population.
In May 2016, IRC opened an office in the Lake region to respond to the Boko Haram crisis. The IRC implements assistance projects in the areas of health and nutrition, as well as protection and response to gender-based violence.
IRC Chad is committed in its 2025-2030 strategic action plan to continue providing essential humanitarian services in health, nutrition and protection / GBV, while improving economic well-being and strengthening the resilience of beneficiaries, especially women and girls.
