The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Somalia collaborates with clients, civil society organizations, and governments to provide crisis-affected and most-in-need communities with quality humanitarian assistance and contribute to their long-term development. This reports details our work throughout 2023.

From 2013 through 2020 the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and partners joined with the Pakistan Ministry of Education to implement the Pakistan Reading Project (PRP), which reached 1.78 million students across seven provinces. This analysis examines the costs of implementing PRP for a two-year cohort of the project in one province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The analysis separates out the “fixed” costs of program management, from the costs of four components: reading and learning materials, face-to face training for teachers, teacher inquiry groups, and school support visits.
