International Relief And Development Inc

Programs: Communities in crisis - ird empowers communities to recover and stabilize by providing relief and humanitarian assistance as well as transitional services such as conflict mitigation and prevention, psychological engagement and livelihood development, as well as delivering shelter, food and non-food humanitarian aid and small-scale infrastructure to internally displaced persons, refugees and communities impacted by natural disasters and political crises.

communities in transition - ird works predominantly in conflict zones, fragile states, and slowly maturing democracies where well-functioning democratic institutions have not been the norm. In such societies, citizens and communities may not be familiar with or open to organizing and engaging with local government and community leadership organizations-unless they perceive an immediate and tangible benefit. Ird 's approach to civil society and community development cuts across all sectors of ird's work.

resilient communities - ird has worked with thousands of communities to complete construction and infrastructure development projects - roads, health clinics, schools, and water and sanitation systems - in developing, high-risk, and conflict-affected areas. To successfully deliver infrastructure programs in such areas, ird provides construction management and project support services using a community-based approach that mitigates risk and promotes sustainable development. Ird builds long-term community resiliency through disaster-risk reduction, agriculture and food security, water and sanitation capacity, community-based infrastructure improvements and climate-change mitigation.
