Job Description
International Rescue Committee Background
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 Ein-stein, 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 in 22
U.S. cities, IRC restores safe-ty, dignity and hope to millions who are
uprooted by conflict or disaster. IRC leads the way from harm to home.

IRC
has been present in Tanzania since 1993, when it responded to an influx
of refugees from Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Since the initial influx, the organization has continued to tirelessly
serve the needs of refugees and host communities in the country.

In
2021, IRC Tanzania has reached approximately 100,000 clients directly
and more than 150,000 clients indirectly across three refugees camps in
the Kigoma Region- Nyaruguru, Nduta and Mtendeli (before Mtendeli was
demoted)- and the surrounding host communities through its work in
health, education and protection.

The IRC has offices in Dar es
Salaam, Kigoma (Kasulu, and Kibondo districts) but implements a project
on strengthening youth resilience in Mtwara, and a Child and Youth
Protection project in the host community of Kigoma and is planning to
expand its outreach in other Regions such as Kagera, Tabora, Katavi,
Dodoma, Dar es Salaam and any other region where there is a need.

Project Background
The
IRC Tanzania Country Program just completed the development of its
“Strategy 100” strategic plan through which it aims to provide the best
possible impact for the most vulnerable women and girls, boys, and men
in the country, working in collaboration with the Government line
ministries, local and international NGO partners and the private sector.
In all that we do, we strive to deliver through IRC’s core values of
Integrity, Accountability, Service and Equality. As part of our
commitment to the Grand Bargain in general and again as a Feminist
Organization in particular, the IRC recognizes the need to work in
partnership with local civil society, government, and private sector
actors and to be deliberately inclusive of women-led and women-focused
organizations. The country program recognizes that working with partners
will enhance program quality and scale, and result in better outcomes
for the people we serve and enable our programs to provide more durable
outcomes by strengthening local capacity and systems. In addition, the
IRC acknowledges that women need to lead and be more involved in
programming targeting improvements in the lives hence will focus on
identifying actors with a bias towards this group. The country program
recognizes working in partnership is a key enabler of other Strategy100
priorities, including gender equality, and client centered programming.
This is in line with the IRC’s global, S100 plan, regional priorities
and reflected in the Country Strategic Action Plan which sets specific
targets for strategically partnering with other actors including
women-led and/or women-focused organizations with the objective of
maximizing reach to the most disadvantaged communities and ensuring
equal outcomes for diverse groups of women and girls in Tanzania.
