The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global leader in humanitarian aid, relief, and development. Founded in 1933, the IRC responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises, helping people survive and rebuild their lives. The IRC provides vital support to Ugandans rebuilding from decades of war while also hosting refugees from South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The IRC began operations in northern Uganda in 1998, responding to the displacement and devastation caused by the Lord’s Resistance Army. In 2002, the IRC expanded to the conflict-affected Karamoja region and started working with refugees in Kampala in 2011. Following the South Sudanese refugee influx in 2015, the IRC scaled up its response in the West Nile region.
Currently, the IRC operates in over 40 countries, including 9 districts in Uganda: Kitgum, Lamwo, Kyegegwa, Moroto, Amudat, Yumbe, Arua, Kasese, and Kampala. By promoting durable solutions that focus on saving lives, strengthening institutions, and supporting social cohesion, the IRC aims to bring people from harm to home, laying the foundation for long-term stability and development.
