Background/IRC Summary:
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.
IRC has been working in Pakistan for over 30 years, and manages and delivers large complex programs to meet needs in health, education, protection, environmental health and livelihoods for displaced, poor & conflict-affected communities. IRC works in partnership with local government and non-governmental organizations and currently works in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh provinces.
IDPs Vulnerability Assessment and Profiling (IVAP) was initiated in 2010 to fill a critical information gap regarding the situation of these conflict IDPs. Over the years, IVAP has been focusing on: 1) informing the humanitarian community of the needs, locations and numbers of IDPs; 2) profiling each family on the basis of vulnerability to allow for targeting of assistance. IVAP identified the needs of IDPs, including their needs in displacement, their intentions to return to their origin locations, and their needs upon their return to their place of origin. It proactively communicated these findings widely amongst humanitarian partners in KP so as to ensure an appropriate humanitarian response.
Under its strategic framework for the next four years, IVAP envisions that “Humanitarian responses in Pakistan are driven by harmonized data and targeted towards the priority needs of the most vulnerable displacement-affected persons”. IVAP is setup with a mission “To consistently provide timely, actionable, reliable and accessible profiling data on the needs and vulnerabilities of displacement-affected persons to government, humanitarian and development actors; to increase the utility of family-level data from different sources through the development of a data exchange system; and, to promote a more collaborative data culture through advocacy, capacity building and technical support”.
