DRC: Provincial Coordinator

International Rescue Committee

IRC has operated a multi-sector program in eastern DRC since early November 1996. IRC has been active in health, water and sanitation, shelter construction, structural rehabilitation and support of local NGOs. From its inception, the IRC-eastern DRC program was designed to meet the urgent needs of refugees attempting to repatriate to Rwanda, while also serving the rehabilitation needs of the local communities adversely affected by the civil war and the subsequent damage caused by the mass exodus of over one million refugees and the looting of departing armies. The Provincial Coordinator is ultimately responsible for overseeing all project implementation.
