a message from the co-chairs of the irc board and overseers

Dear Friends, As co-chairs of the International Rescue Committee Board of Directors and Overseers, we are pleased to have the opportunity to serve in a leadership capacity at a critical time when uprooted people in all parts of the world are looking to the IRC for a desperately needed helping hand. Worldwide, more than 42 million people, the majority of them women and children, have had to flee their homes because of war and persecution. In addition, in recent years a number of natural disasters have caused major humanitarian crises in which the IRC was able to play a crucial role because of its unique capabilities or geographic presence. In the United States, the Sarah O’hAgan tHOMAS schick IRC also assists those for whom returning home is impossible and who have been admitted as co-chair, co-chair, refugees. The IRC works with as many as 12,000 of these resettled refugees annually, board of directors board of directors welcoming them to their adoptive communities and assisting them in starting life anew. Although the global scale of displacement may seem overwhelming and perhaps hopeless, the reality is that year after year the IRC is able to make a measurable improvement in the lives of millions of people and help many refugees and their communities begin returning to a normal life. We believe that the ability to make such a difference in the lives of others is the reason for the long-term loyalty shown by the IRC’s donors, volunteers, board members, overseers, and staff. This tradition of service began in 1933 when, at the request of Albert Einstein, prominent scott pellEy glenda burkhart citizens from all walks of life formed the committee that ultimately became today’s IRC. Current co-chair, overseers co-chair, overseers members of the board and overseers are an accomplished group that includes business executives, labor leaders, lawyers, physicians, journalists, authors, and educators, as well as former diplomats and Cabinet members. Over a dozen of them are former refugees themselves. The IRC Board of Directors is responsible for the governance of the IRC, overseeing the organization’s programs, finances, external relations, legal affairs, and executive succession. In doing so, the board ensures that the contributions of our donors are well spent. The IRC Overseers, meanwhile, assist the board through their advocacy, fundraising, and public relations efforts, all of which are crucial to the organization’s long-term health. We wish to thank our predecessors for their outstanding service. Alan Batkin and Jonathan Wiesner ably and effectively co-chaired the IRC Board from November 2004 through February 2010–a period that saw the IRC respond admirably to a long list of major natural and manmade disasters. Tom Brokaw, Winston Lord, and Maureen White each either chaired or co-chaired the Overseers for varying periods over the same timeframe and provided first-rate leadership. The IRC is in their debt. We look forward to emulating our predecessors’ excellent records and building upon their achievements in service to the world’s most vulnerable people. Sincerely,

Letter from the preside nt

Dear Friends, I am pleased to present you with our annual report for 2009, a year that tested our ability to save lives, protect the vulnerable, and rebuild communities. Despite the stiff obstacles, the IRC came through under pressure. As a result, life for millions of people was safer, healthier, and more hopeful than it would have been without us. Especially tough challenges came in Somalia, Congo, the Central African Republic, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. There, continuing outbreaks of violence wreaked havoc on displaced people, the majority of them women and children, and complicated our efforts to provide relief or development assistance. We persevered nonetheless – and were rewarded by heartfelt expressions of gratitude from those we aided, as I saw during visits with Somali refugees in Kenya, displaced Iraqis in the Middle East, and villagers in Myanmar whose communities had been devastated in 2008 by Cyclone Nargis. Our biggest disappointment came in March 2009, hours after an arrest warrant was issued for the president of Sudan by the International Criminal Court, which had been investigating war crimes in Darfur. Sudan summarily expelled the IRC and 12 other aid organizations from Darfur, where the IRC served over 650,000 internally displaced people, as well as from the north and east of Sudan, regions in which we had carried out humanitarian programs for 28 years. As best we could, we assisted the U.N., remaining aid agencies, and local officials who tried to fill the huge gaps created by our departure. Meanwhile, we continue serving some 60,000 refugees from Darfur in camps in neighboring Chad as well as over 450,000 people in semi-autonomous Southern Sudan. In an era of short attention spans, the IRC also strived to alert the world to the worsening situation of over three million uprooted Iraqis. Roughly half are displaced inside Iraq itself, while most of the remainder are in neighboring Jordan and Syria. We also raised the alarm about the state of refugees from Iraq and other countries who have recently been resettled in the United States but who cannot find jobs. We pointed out that over the last 30 years, U.S. government funding for refugee resettlement has not kept pace with the cost of living – and that the shortfall had grown so large that the IRC and other agencies could no longer bridge it completely – a situation exacerbated by the recession. But there was good news: the Obama administration began a thorough review of the nation’s resettlement program. And effective January 1, 2010, the State Department significantly increased the support it provides to cover the initial expenses of arriving refugees. Throughout 2009, our emergency response and preparedness team honed its readiness to move quickly when crises develop. Two weeks into the New Year, these efforts paid off, and the team’s members responded immediately when the devastating earthquake struck Haiti. Now we are working all out in Haiti to help its people recover and rebuild. We owe a debt of gratitude to our loyal donors, dedicated board and overseers, and our hardworking staff, all of whom are responsible for the IRC’s humanitarian accomplishments worldwide. Thank you very much! Sincerely,

US Programs the refugee’s journey from harm to home

Throughout our history, the IRC has helped refugees build new lives in the United States. Our staff and volunteers ensure that newcomers have what they need to get started in their adopted land—a place to live, food, clothing, encouragement and emotional support. We introduce them to new communities, help them find jobs and learn English. We also provide families with special programs that help them adjust. In 2009, the IRC helped resettle 12,000 newly arrived refugees and provided services to over 37,000 others. On the next four pages we will hear some of their stories.

If I had survived as an orphaned refugee girl, I was confident I could make it in America. The most important thing was to give my children an education. Education became my mantra. My children thought education was another word for America. It hasn’t been easy, but my children are enrolled in school and I have a job. I hope to save enough to send them to college. I’m proud of my accomplishments since arriving in Boise, including my role as a leader of the Burundian community. I’m grateful to the IRC and the volunteers who have helped us.

Advocacy and public education

The IRC is highly experienced in calling the attention of policymakers and global leaders to the needs of refugees and other displaced people. Because of their hands-on work in over 40 countries, members of our field staff and advocacy teams speak knowledgeably and authoritatively about the issues−and policymakers do listen and respond. Here are the key advocacy efforts on which we focused in 2009.

Iraqi Refugees In June 2009, a report published by the IRC Commission on Iraqi Refugees shone a spotlight on the economic hardships affecting Iraqi refugees who were being resettled in the United States. The report, “In Dire Straits,” attracted much attention from the news media and policymakers. It helped spur the Obama administration to launch a review of the U.S. refugee resettlement program and helped convince the State Department to provide emergency funding to cover refugee housing costs and later announce a significant increase in aid for newly arrived refugees. IRC / Annual report 2009 / ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC EDUCATION 23

Violence against Women The IRC and the Women’s Refugee Commission helped influence the U.N. Security Council’s adoption in 2008 of Resolution 1820, which recognizes that violence against women and girls in conflict zones threatens international security. In 2009, as violence escalated in countries like Congo, the IRC pushed the U.N. to go further. Subsequently, the council adopted a second resolution that establishes a high-level special representative to ensure that the international community’s response to sexual violence in conflict is swift, coordinated and robust. The IRC also briefed the U.S. Secretary of State’s top adviser on women’s issues and gave testimony to Congress about programs to prevent and respond to violence against women.

Afghanistan and Pakistan Soon after the Obama administration took office, senior IRC staff members met with key officials responsible for shaping policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan and the new American ambassador to Afghanistan. The IRC supports stronger civilian-led efforts to spur sustainable development in both countries. After the Pakistani army launched a major military campaign in the Swat Valley in spring 2009, the IRC spoke out to ensure that aid reached families displaced by the conflict there, in South Waziristan, and elsewhere in northwestern Pakistan.

sudan More than 28,000 people signed an IRC petition asking the U.N. to protect humanitarian aid delivery after Sudan expelled the IRC and 12 other aid agencies from Darfur in March 2009. IRC President George Rupp hand-delivered the petition to John Holmes, U.N. under-secretary- general for humanitarian affairs. The IRC met with U.N. and numerous government officials to urge continuing aid to Darfur despite the expulsions, and advocated for preserving the peace between north and south Sudan. Later in the year, the U.S. special envoy to Sudan met with aid agency leaders at IRC headquarters in New York.

Foreign Aid Reform In Washington, London and New York, the IRC suggested ways to improve delivery of international aid. The IRC briefed U.S. officials and Congressional offices on the need to revitalize and strengthen the U.S. Agency for International Development. Meanwhile, the IRC-UK was one of six aid agencies involved in producing a major report on reforming the global system, with a focus on U.N. reform efforts in the areas of leadership, coordination and funding. The IRC-UK convened a meeting of British aid agencies, U.K. government officials and U.N. representatives to discuss the report, while the IRC helped disseminate it to U.N. and U.S. government officials.
