our work, creative partnerships and thorough accountability to those we

various relief, rehabilitation, and development programs for refugees,
internally displaced persons and those affected by conflict in different
regions worldwide. Each region is managed by a regional team that
oversees the region’s country programs, headed by a Regional Vice
President (RVP) and Deputy RD (DRD), and supported by a Regional Grants
Director (RGD). These programs focus on different sectors, including
health; water and sanitation; children and youth protection and
development; protection; gender-based violence protection; economic
development; civil society development; community-driven reconstruction;
and refugee camp management.
Background:
