How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community-Led Health and Education Delivery in Crisis Settingsmethodology: community_health_workersBy deploying community health workers and using accelerated, community-based education models, the IRC delivers essential services in hard-to-reach areas, because local actors are more accessible, trusted, and sustainable in fragile contexts than centralized systems.
- Gender-Transformative Programming to Address Systemic Inequalitymethodology: gender-transformative approachBy engaging both women and men to transform harmful gender norms and promoting equitable relationships, the IRC reduces gender-based violence and increases social inclusion, because systemic change requires shifting behaviors and power dynamics at the community level, not just individual access.
- Integrated Livelihoods with Social-Emotional Learning for Resiliencemethodology: integrated_livelihoods_social_emotional_learningBy combining technical and livelihood skills training with social-emotional learning, the IRC prepares youth and adults for economic participation, because integrating emotional resilience with practical skills increases program completion, job retention, and long-term adaptability in crisis-affected populations.
- Policy-Informed Practice and Feedback-Driven Programmingmethodology: policy-informed-practiceBy applying field-generated evidence to shape humanitarian policy and enabling feedback loops with affected populations, the IRC increases program effectiveness and systemic impact, because real-time learning and local input improve responsiveness and scalability of interventions.
- Unrestricted Cash Assistance for Local Economic Resiliencemethodology: unrestricted_cash_assistanceBy providing unrestricted cash assistance, the IRC enables recipients to meet their most urgent needs and simultaneously strengthens local economies, because when people spend locally, it stimulates market activity and supports small businesses.
