International Rescue Committee Inc (IRC)
EU Transparency Register
66790095679-26 First registered on 18 Apr 2011
Goals / Remit
The International Rescue Committee helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.
IRC teams provide health care, infrastructure, learning and economic support to people in 40 countries, with special programs designed for women and children.
With programmes in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean, we work in refugee camps, disaster areas
and countries that host refugees. We also work with communities recovering from war or experiencing
prolonged crisis or conflict. The IRC was founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein.
When an emergency arises, the IRC arrives on the scene within 72 hours with urgently needed supplies and expertise that protect people caught in the midst of chaos. We commit to stay as long as we are needed, helping survivors to heal, recover and rebuild their communities to be stronger, more stable and more democratic.
From the first moment the IRC hits the ground we work toward lasting solutions. Building local capacity and self-sufficiency -and promoting human rights, participation and accountability - are at the core of all of our innovative programs.
The IRC also seeks to bring attention to forgotten or neglected crises and to pressure governments and international organizations to take action to help and protect refugees, displaced people and other victims of conflict.
In light of the European Refugee Crisis, the IRC has increased its activities in Europe, both in supporting the refugees upon their arrival, and in advocating on their behalf for a humane solution for those fleeing violence.
IRC advocacy is fueled by an understanding of situations on the ground and in the field that comes from working on a daily basis with people affected by war and violence. It is rooted in a tradition of speaking out on behalf of the oppressed and forgotten that dates back to 1933.Main EU files targeted
The IRC has been engaging in advocacy and policy activities towards the EU Institutions, with particular focus on the EU Commission. DG ECHO and DEVCO are IRC's key targets for policy activities especialy in the following areas:

- EU humanitarian funding.Address

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
