Item Description:

1. Background

The International Rescue Committee, hereinafter referred to as “the IRC”, is a non-profit, humanitarian agency that provides relief, rehabilitation, protection, resettlement services, and advocacy for refugees, displaced persons and victims of oppression and violent conflict. The IRC was established in 1933 and began programming in Kenya in 1993. The IRC initially established programming in Kenya to serve the refugees in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. The IRC now runs two programs in Greater Turkana, one for refugees in Kakuma and another for the Turkana community operated from Lodwar. The IRC also runs programs in Nairobi and the Dadaab Refugee camp.

The Turkana program operates within the following regions;

• Turkana West Sub County– bordering South Sudan & Uganda (Lokipoto, Letea, Loreng, Oropoi, Nakururum and Nanam dispensaries)
