Context.
Climate change is dramatically impacting our world. Vulnerable populations with whom RI partners, often lack the resources to prepare for, mitigate, and adapt to climate change; they will bear the brunt of its fallout. Worst impacted will be RI communities experiencing armed conflict and the ensuing governance breakdown. Often, RI is among a handful of organizations providing assistance to remote and highly vulnerable communities. RI invests in four broad program sectors: Health and Nutrition; Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH); Livelihoods; and Education. RI is adopting integrated Theories of Change, which will rely on timely evidence-based program iterations to enable desired systems change.
RI is active in 15 countries around the world, including some of the most fragile: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.
RI employs 7,000+ staff and auxiliary workers
97% of staff are local nationals
RI spent $130 million on programs in 2021
