International Rescue Committee (IRC)

The IRC in Geneva

First established in 1956, the IRC Geneva office represents the IRC with Geneva-based refugee and IDP-focused actors, most significantly the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).  In addition to playing a coordination and information-sharing role, the IRC Geneva office also hosts the Protection Surge Capacity Project, which recruits, orients, and trains Protection Officers for secondment to UNHCR field programs worldwide.
