Program Brief
- Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading agencies working in post-conflict and development contexts, supporting communities in over 40 fragile, failed and developing states. In this capacity, we work to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted, struggling to endure and wishing to advance on a path of development.
- The IRC has been present in Bangladesh since 2017 and obtained registration with the NGOAB in March 2018. Since the IRC obtained registration in March 2018, it has moved quickly to expand its integrated emergency health and protection response through both direct and partner-based programming focused on primary healthcare, women’s protection and empowerment, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and child protection. Recently IRC has also introduced two new programs: Protection Rule of Law (PROL) and Education. IRC will continue working in both the camps and host community; while meeting the significant needs in both refugee and host populations, as already existing vulnerabilities are compounded with cyclical monsoon and cyclone seasons that impose additional threats to the lives and protection of those refugees as well as vulnerable host populations. IRC will grow over time its geographic coverage within Cox bazar and to other parts of the country, thus expand its networks and partnerships around emergency preparedness and response work, reach beyond the Rohingya refugees, also targeting the vulnerable host groups in Cox Bazar and other parts of Bangladesh.
Purpose
- Background and Objectives of the FCDO Ending Preventable Deaths (EPD) Programme
- The EPD Support Programme aims to aid FCDO central and country teams in their efforts to end preventable deaths of mothers, babies, and children by 2030. The programme will enhance health systems, promote human rights, and foster healthier environments in 11 flagship countries. The programme will provide long-term and short-term technical assistance (TA) through local and international consultants and a strategic flexible fund to support FCDO teams.
- The IRC is recruiting consultants to join our consultant pool for the EPD Support Programme. We are seeking long-term (150-200 days per year) consultants to provide technical assistance to FCDO country teams to influence policy, legal, and strategic frameworks necessary for progress on EPD. The technical assistance required in each country will be determined through consultations with national governments. This tailored assistance will address the unique needs of each country, ensuring effective support for FCDO central and country teams.
