Thanks to funds provided by IRC donors in response to February's emergency appeal, the IRC in Sacramento is expanding economic empowerment workshops for women this summer. Meet two of the participants.

The IRC finds conflict-affected and fragile countries face not only the direct health impacts of COVID-19 but also secondary havoc to already fragile humanitarian, economic, security and political environments.

As a result of the emergency needs assessment, IRC in NJ received funding to distribute one-time prepaid gift cards to households, individuals, and couples in our community, meeting established criteria and on our Intake and Casework team’s caseload. This relief effort, while finite, will serve almost 300 individuals in our area over the next few months.  

In 2015 the IRC and Mercy Corps joined forces to launch ADAPT (Analysis Driven Agile Programming Techniques) to research, innovate and field test adaptive management techniques for the sector. In Niger’s Diffa region, an emergency intervention leveraged information management to create an external enabling environment for a more effective humanitarian response.

The IRC delivers lifesaving aid in crisis zones worldwide. As U.S. aid is cut, your support helps us protect children and families in greatest need.
