The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, IRC offers life-saving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in more than 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, IRC restores safety, dignity, and hope to millions uprooted by conflict or disaster. IRC leads the way from harm to home.
The IRC has been operating in Jordan since 2007 and works with partners through a client-centered approach to achieve resilience and dignified life for the most vulnerable communities across the country. The IRC in Jordan has reached over 620,000 clients at our community centers, clinics, and via mobile teams providing an array of integrated services that improve the health, safety, educational opportunities, and economic well-being of refugees and vulnerable host communities.
IRC has developed its Strategic Action Plan for 2022 -2024 prioritizing the following seven outcome areas: gender-based violence, physical and mental health, long-term economic stability, sexual and reproductive health, early economic recovery, school-aged children and learning, and safety in communities. The IRC targets vulnerable host communities and refugees: persons with disabilities, youth, heads of households, women, and girls, children, and older people. IRC aligns its work with the Jordan Response Plan (2020-2022) of the Government of Jordan, the Jordan Compact, and the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan for the Syria crisis.
