Abdelgabar Mohamdian is a farmer at heart. He grew crops and raised livestock in Sudan. Now, 17 years after he came to the United States, he is growing vegetables and making them available to the community through the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Phoenix’s New Roots weekly produce box program.

The IRC in Richmond is committed to bringing our refugee clients from harm to home. As a part of that commitment, we provide them with necessities – such as clothing and household items – they will need to start rebuilding their lives here. To do this, the IRC relies on donated items from community partners that are passed into the hands of our clients free of charge.

As refugee families and individuals work to build their assets including achieving homeownership, the IRC’s down matched savings program helps make these dreams a reality.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has resulted in a significant increase in the number of refugees coming into Libya since April 2023. This needs assessment presents the challenges, opportunities and aspirations of this newly arrived population and informs humanitarian programming and advocacy. The IRC conducted the assessment in the three regions in Libya where the IRC is currently implementing programs.

The purpose of this paper is to share IRC’s vision for the future of the Grand Bargain based on our experience on the ground and engagement with this forum.

This September, the New Roots Community Farm’s (NRCF) community members came together to rebuild the farm. This project consisted of transplanting new plants, weeding, and installing sturdier plant beds. The New York Restoration Project also joined the NRCF in these efforts to execute the rebuild. The IRC in NY sat with Sheryll Durrant, the Food and Agriculture Coordinator at IRC in NY, to learn about the impact of this rebuild and the vision of the NRCF as a whole.
