Libyan Arab Jamahiriya 2022 - IRC HUM 2021-2025 International Rescue Committee (IRC) är en enskild internationell organisation, aktiv i humanitär respons och resiliens i mer än 40 länder globalt. Deras huvudsakliga syfte är att bistå människor vars liv och försörjningsmöjligheter slagits i spillror till följd av konflikter, naturkatastrofer och klimatförändringar genom att erbjuda överlevnadsstöd och aktiviteter för återhämtning. Fokus ligger på aktiviteter inom hälsa, skydd, utbildning, försörjningsmöjligheter samt människors stärkta egenmakt och beslutsförmåga. Huvudsaklig målgrupp är människor som flyr från krig och katastrofer, samt de värdsamhällen som bistår dem. 
I dagsläget är IRC huvudsakligen självimplementerande och utför sitt arbete med hjälp av sina 17 000 medarbetare världen över. IRC har däremot ett mål om att utöka sitt samarbete med lokala partners (myndigheter, organisationer, organiserade samhällsgrupper) för att på sikt kanalisera 25 % av finansiella medel genom tredje part, och kommer under 2024 och 2025 att försätta arbeta för att detta ska bli verklighet. 

År 2024 får IRC humanitärt programbaserat stöd i 17 länder, samt medel till IRCs snabbfinansieringsmekanism ”Rapid Response Mechanism” vars funktion är att snabbt kunna kanalisera medel till hastigt uppkomna eller kraftigt förvärrade kriser. Utöver de pågående metod och kapacitet projekt börjar IRC två nya 2-åriga projekt i år, med fokus på skydd för den ena, och lokalisering för den andra. International Rescue Committee, IRC, is a non-profit international organisation, working with  humanitarian and development work in more than 40 countries world-wide. As per IRC’s mission statement, their goal is “to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster, including by the climate crisis, to survive, recover and gain control of their future” in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Their focus is on activities with the sectors of health, safety/protection, education, livelihoods and ensuring people have the power to influence decisions that affect their lives. Their main target group is people who flee from war, conflict and disaster, and the host communities that support them.

Currently, IRC is mainly a self-implementing organisation who conduct the bulk of their work through their 17 000 global staff members. However, IRC is striving to increase their cooperation with local partners (authorities, organisation, community groups) to reach a goal of sub-granting 25 % of their means through third party, and will continue to work towards achieving this target during 2024 and 2025.

In 2024, the IRC will receive humanitarian programme-based support in 17 countries, as well as funding for the IRC's Rapid Response Mechanism, whose function is to rapidly channel funds to emerging or worsening crises. In addition to the ongoing methodology and capacity projects, the IRC is starting two new 2-year projects this year, focusing on protection for one, and localisation for the other. IRC respond to the worlds worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic well being and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster.  Their mission is to help people whose lives and livelihoods have been shattered by conflict and disaster, including the climate crisis, to survive, recover and gain control of their future.
IRC consider their interventions successful when their clients see improvement in their safety from physical, sexual and psychological harm; in their health status, including physical and mental well-being; in education, including literacy and numeracy, social-emotional, and life skills (including safe schools); in economic well-being, including ability to provide basic material needs and income asset growth; and in power to have influence over the decisions that affect their lives. IRC strive to reach these goals while continuously trying to tackle gender inequalities in and through all of their work.   
As Sida supports IRC in a variety of countries, not one specific objective can be identified for the whole contribution, but for the sake of exemplifying, a number of country specific goals are outlined below:
Ukraine: People are safe in their homes and receive support when they experience harm, women and girls are protected from and treated for the consequences of gender-based violence, adolescents and adults are physically and mentally healthy, people meet their basic needs and protect livelihoods during emergencies, people develop their livelihoods and recover from shocks. 
Myanmar: People are safe in their communities and receive support when they experience harm, women and girls are protected from and treated for the consequences of 
gender-based violence, women and girls achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights, adolescents and adults are physically and mentally healthy, people access water, sanitation and hygiene services and live in an enhanced environment, people meet their basic needs and protect livelihoods during emergencies, people lead their recovery and development.
Central African Republic: People are safe in their communities and receive support when they experience harm, children survive and are healthy, women and girls achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights, women and girls are protected from and treated for the consequences of gender-based violence, people develop their livelihoods and recover from shocks, people lead their own recovery and development.

Across the  country programmes relevant for Sida funding in 2024, IRC will engage i formal and informal partnerships with local and national actors. The cash modality will be explored in all contexts.
