Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you're a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is an international non-governmental organisation. It was founded in 1933 on the initiative of the famous physicist Albert Einstein. Today, the IRC is a world leader in relief, rehabilitation, protection, post-conflict development, reintegration and advocacy for people affected by crises. IRC's mission is to help people whose lives and livelihoods have been destroyed by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and take control of their future.

The IRC has been active in the Central African Republic since the end of 2006. It has a main office in Bangui, bases in Bocaranga (Ouham-Pendé), and Ndélé (Bamingui-Bangoran) and a sub-base in Ndim. Since February 2023, IRC has been Co-Lead of the Child Protection Area of Responsibility in CAR.

1. Justification

The ongoing crisis in Sudan has resulted in a significant influx of refugees into the northeastern region of the Central African Republic (CAR), particularly in Birao, Vakaga Prefecture. As of March 2025, an estimated 26,000 refugees have settled in the Korsi site, with women and children comprising approximately 80% of this population (UNHCR Dashboard, March 2025). These refugees face acute protection risks, including a growing number of incidents involving the recruitment and use of children by armed actors. Humanitarian reports and community-based networks have highlighted the covert presence of suspected Rapid Support Forces (RSF) elements within displacement sites such as Korsi. This has heightened the vulnerability of refugee children and underscores the need for sensitive and context-specific prevention programs.

The volatile and complex environment in Korsi marked by community mistrust, linguistic barriers, and the presence of armed actors poses additional challenges. The suspension of UNICEF’s activities in the area due to funding constraints has further limited the reach and impact of child protection interventions. Both local and international NGOs have raised concerns about the absence of culturally and linguistically appropriate engagement approaches, leaving significant gaps in preventive measures to safeguard children.

To address these urgent protection needs, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and UNICEF have signed an agreement to scale up child protection interventions for refugees in Korsi site in Birao and have agreed to deploy a Child Protection Consultant with a Sudanese cultural and linguistic background to provide immediate support.

The consultant will work closely with the community, and provide the following activities:

·         Build the capacity of community-based child protection networks (Reseau Communautaires de Protection de l’enfant), parents, and youth to prevent and respond to child protection risks.

·         Strengthening case management and referral pathways to ensure timely and appropriate support for vulnerable children.

·         Designing and delivering culturally sensitive training modules to address the specific needs of Sudanese refugee children and their families.

Given the high need for someone who speaks the language, IRC (based on the agreement with UNICEF) is looking for a dedicated Child Protection Consultant to reinforce community resilience, support establishment of community based child protection structures in the site.
