The IRC’s Economic Recovery and Development Department works with a range of partners to make markets work for our beneficiaries. Our approach recognises that the prosperity of the vulnerable and conflict-affected is closely linked to their ability to engage with the larger market as a whole, stabilising their lives through jobs and income. This approach, where appropriate, works not only to directly support the conflict-affected and most vulnerable, but also those who are able to generate jobs and investment capital, namely processors, wholesalers, retail traders and others.
