Background
The IRC worked in Haiti from 2010 through 2016, initially launching an emergency response to the earthquake and later delivering child protection, water and sanitation, health, women’s protection and empowerment, and economic recovery programs in Port-au-Prince and beyond. Since the closure of its country office in 2016, the IRC has continued to provide operational, technical, and financial support to a small number of Haitian NGO partners, including in response to the 2021 earthquake. The IRC is scaling up its support to partner-led programs in Haiti. 
Programs will respond to the recent escalation of violence in Port-au-Prince and the resulting rise in humanitarian needs related to cholera, food insecurity, protection, and displacement. The IRC will work with local actors with the knowledge and ability to deliver emergency services in affected communities, then establish collaborative partnerships to fund, complement, and scale the work of these organizations. Technical experts from IRC’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) will work closely with partners on the design and delivery of programs.
