a LIFeLIne In the desert

in 2011, a punishing drought swept through east africa, killing livestock and turning once-fertile farms into fields of dust. Malnutrition and death rates soared in Somalia, Kenya and ethiopia, and hundreds of thousands of impoverished Somalis embarked on desperate treks across the desert, seeking help in neighboring countries. the irc, which has been working in east africa since the early 1990s, responded with an aid effort across the region, providing livestock, water, food, hygiene and medical care to tens of thousands of refugees and displaced people. By the end of the year, the famine that killed as many as 100,000 people in Somalia had ended but millions were still in urgent need of food and assistance. today, the irc continues to deliver lifesaving aid to people in all three east african countries.

in 2011, the irc brought rapid emergency relief to uprooted and displaced people around the world. But when conflict subsides or an emergency passes, the irc is committed to helping lay the groundwork for lasting peace and economic development. that means forging close partnerships with governments, grassroots organizations and the private sector in the countries where we work. partnering with others and supporting their efforts to rebuild and ultimately take full responsibility for their own development are central to the irc’s approach. on the following four pages are examples of three vital irc partnerships.

new roots In amerIca

When refugees arrive in the United States, they leave behind everything familiar. For many that also means losing ties to the land and a tradition of growing their own food. in response, the irc has launched New roots, a nationwide program that helps refugees establish community gardens, farmers markets, food pantries and farm-based businesses.

the irc provides agricultural training, tools and seeds, as well as connections to potential buyers. the program brings refugees together to share experiences and plant new and lasting roots in their adopted communities.

24 AdvOCACY ANd PUBLIC OUTREACh

the irc has been highly successful focusing the attention of policymakers on the needs of refugees and other displaced people. Because of their hands-on work in countries worldwide, members of our field staff and advocacy teams speak knowledgeably and authoritatively about the issues—and global leaders do listen and respond. Here are the key advocacy efforts on which we focused in 2011.
