Program Brief

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world`s worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world`s largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, 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 worldwide for a better future.

Since 2017, IRC has supported Rohingya Refugees and Bangladeshi nationalities communities in Cox`s Bazar, Khulna, Barisal, and Chittagong with integrated services. The organization also addresses climate change impacts by building resilience and promoting economic recovery, education, and protection.

Purpose of the Role

Information is power and save life – to claim rights and entitlements and restore individuals’ dignity. Information is the key in any context, which is more essential in the emergency and refugee context.

Aligned with the IRC’s innovative Signpost program, the IRC in Bangladesh program will provide a holistic approach to address information needs in refugee camps and host communities. The two-way communication approach under Signpost is a useful information resource for people in need; it fosters more in-depth community engagement, more trust, and, most importantly, more utility for its users.
