International Rescue Committee, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you’re a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future.
International Rescue Committee, IRC started cross-border interventions into Sudan in 2024 and currently manages a rapidly expanding program portfolio in opposition held regions of Darfur (accessed from Chad) and South Kordofan (accessed from South Sudan). These interventions are managed separately from the Sudan country program, which implements programs in eastern Sudan in areas controlled by the de-facto Sudan government.
International Rescue Committee, IRC intends to build its cross-border interventions into Sudan into longer-term and sustained programming. To enable expansion across Sudan and to protect programming in eastern Sudan from any adverse political consequences arising from work in opposition-controlled areas, EHAU is managing this effort.
