This will be conducted through community-based approaches to promote government and local ownership of the project, which will lead to a sustainable impact for education.
Strengthening the protective environment and livelihood resilience of vulnerable populations affected by conflict and the impact of climate change in the Lake Chad This project aims to ensure that vulnerable people in Chad and Niger -particularly women and girls - have access to an integrated package of quality services that address their urgent health, food security, nutrition and protection needs, and are supported to improve their resilience and livelihoods, as well as to prevent and mitigate the impacts of climate change. To accomplish this, IRC brings together a consortium of exceptional technical expertise and contextual knowledge of the Lake Chad Basin region to implement a project that centered around population’s protection and basic needs and supported by thorough needs assessments, which will support service delivery, multi-purpose cash assistance, and access to essential services and referrals. The project will bridge the gap between humanitarian response and resilience-focused actions to mitigate the impacts of climate hazards and conflict though the development of economic opportunities, sustainable farming, value chains and market linkages. The consortium targets remote and hard-to-reach vulnerable populations affected by conflict and displacement in the Lake Chad Basin, focused on areas where few actors are present to address gaps, and to leverage existing presence on the ground of consortium members in order to promote scaling and complementing of current interventions. Following the outbreak of the Sudan conflict in April 2023, the project is also providing an emergency response in Eastern Chad to support Sudanese refugees arriving at the border.

Implementing Partners to Provide Essential Healthcare Services in South Sudan (HPF Phase 3) (Year 2) This is the year 2 amendment for the original contract IRC had for the third phase of the Health Pool Fund in South Sudan. This opportunity is the third phase of the Health Pool Fund in South Sudan.

Raising the bar for routine Monitoring & Evaluation in Gender-Based Violence programs: Measuring psycho social well being and felt stigma outcomes The IRC will develop and pilot measurement tools that allow the humanitarian community to validly and reliably measure the impact of Gender-Based Violence programming in terms of psycho social well-being and felt stigma – both essential to the success of services provided and have impact on survivors’ lives. This project will produce innovative M&E tools to measure change in GBV survivors’ felt stigma and psychosocial wellbeing which will be widely available for use by GBV actors in humanitarian contexts
Impact of Community Engagement on Infection Prevention and Control Measures for Ebola Preparedness in Western Uganda The IRC will design and implement a community engagement intervention, including activities such as regular communication with communities, establishment of community-based focal points, partnering with local community-based organisations, and formation of community feedback mechanisms. The primary outcome of this research is improved Infection Prevention and Control Measures (IPC) in health facilities in western Uganda, through building accountability and strengthening relationships between health facilities and local communities. This will be demonstrated by improved measurable IPC scores in facilities during preparedness, changes in behavior and perceptions / awareness of Ebola virus disease and increase in Ebola preparedness activities (such as creation of isolation areas at health facilities) in the targeted health facility catchment areas.

Evidence Fund: Covid-19 Social Science Research – Evidence Platform It is anticipated that COVID-19 will have considerable effects on urban areas in particular via rapid spread and/or subsequent reductions in mobility, and that this will have damaging consequences for aggregate economic growth and particularly negative consequences for low-income and vulnerable groups engaged in informal activities and/or living in informal settlements. How the outbreak is handled in urban areas will also directly shape the extent and pace of COVID-19’s spread to rural areas. IDS and University of Manchester have received a grant from FCDO to understand the complex priority problem of pandemics in Africa’s urban context and learn about how their primary and secondary impacts can be addressed. This project has an action-research design to catalyse, support and test better governance responses to the pandemic. It includes a component to support policy impact with briefing notes designed to assist governments and other agencies by providing summaries of the most recent evidence and of the implications for policy and practice. IDS and UofM have proposed research in three African cities.
