IRC vacancy
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their lives. The IRC works with people made to flee from war, conflict and disaster and the host communities which support them, as well as those who remain within their homes and communities. We began work in Ethiopia since 2000 and currently implementing emergency and development programs in health, water and sanitation, profitable recovery, and development (ERD), women’s protection and empowerment, education, child protection, andmulti-sectoral emergency response. The IRC has a focus on narrowing the gender gap in philanthropic aid and ensuring that we contribute to gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in both our programs and operations by working to establish a context where our clients( including those from artistic minority groups) enjoy the same rights and opportunities as well as an equal access to services. The IRC also has a strong commitment to creating an indifferent and inclusive culture, where safeguarding is upheld in our workplace and programs. We're determined to protect our clients and staff from safeguarding violations through prevention and, where misconduct is alleged, to address it without fear or favor.
