Background of the project
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is at work in over 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. The IRC has been operating in Thailand since 1975 and currently provides assistance to displaced persons in Tak, Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, and Mae Hong Son provinces.
Following the coup in Myanmar in February 2021, fighting between the military and insurgents along the border with Thailand has led to a large-scale internal displacement and a smaller but growing number of refugees seeking protection in Thailand. Anticipating a potential large-scale in-flux of affected into Thailand this year, the IRC Thailand is preparing to expand and enhance its emergency protection services to put in place necessary internal mechanisms and coordination at provincial and national levels to address the emerging need of the affected people. The Emergency Protection Program has been funded by the DG ECHO, PRM, and DFAT and implemented in partnership with front-line community-based organizations and in coordination with National Protection Sector and Provincial Protection Sector Working group in Tak, Mae Hong Sorn, and Kanchanaburi Province.
