What is an International Rescue job?

An International Rescue job involves providing emergency assistance, relief, and support to people affected by crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, or medical emergencies across the globe. Professionals in this field work with humanitarian organizations, government agencies, or NGOs to deliver aid, coordinate evacuations, and support recovery efforts. Roles can vary from medical responders and search-and-rescue personnel to logistics coordinators and crisis managers. These jobs often require specialized skills, the ability to work in challenging environments, and a strong commitment to humanitarian aid.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the International Rescue position, and why are they important?

To excel in an International Rescue role, candidates generally need comprehensive training in emergency response, disaster relief, and international humanitarian protocols, often supported by relevant certifications such as EMT, paramedic, or disaster management qualifications. Familiarity with communication systems, GPS navigation, rescue equipment, and incident command systems is typically required. Outstanding adaptability, cross-cultural communication, and teamwork skills help professionals navigate high-stress, global environments. These qualifications ensure effective response and coordination during crises, maximizing impact and the safety of both victims and rescue personnel.

What are some common challenges faced by international rescue professionals?

International rescue professionals often encounter rapidly changing conditions, unpredictable environments, and logistical challenges when deploying to disaster zones across the globe. They must adapt quickly to diverse cultures, limited resources, and extreme weather, all while maintaining high standards of safety and coordination within multidisciplinary teams. Effective communication and teamwork are crucial, especially when collaborating with local authorities, NGOs, and other first responders. Resilience, cultural sensitivity, and ongoing training help international rescue workers overcome these obstacles and provide vital assistance where it's needed most.

TITLE: Regional Integrated Protection and Health Response in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen
DONOR: GAC
LOCATION: Remote with travel to Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen
START: February 2026
END: June 2026
1.About IRC
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is an international non-governmental organization. IRC helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. IRC has built expertise in supporting societies in their transition to sustainable development, with a focus on assisting subnational institutions to deliver basic social services. The IRC has an exceptional capacity to build the technical capacity of subnational institutions and deliver quality services in sectors including health care, violence prevention and response (protection, including child protection and women's protection and empowerment (WPE/GBV)), education, economic recovery and development, governance, and research and learning. As a recognized global leader in protection programming, IRC is committed to addressing the world's humanitarian crises and development challenges through context appropriate, gender transformative, evidence-based, outcome-driven interventions that bring real change to the lives of our clients.
2. Context
The humanitarian crises in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen remain among the most complex globally, characterized by protracted conflict, economic collapse, and weakened health and protection systems. Women, children (boys and particularly girls), and marginalized groups face heightened risks of gender-based violence (GBV), limited access to basic sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). The IRC has been implementing integrated protection and health interventions to address these needs, guided by feminist principles and localization strategies.
Syria (SY): considered one of the largest and most complex displacement crises in the world. More than ten million Syrians remain forcibly displaced, including more than 3.5 million refugees hosted in Lebanon, Jordan, and other neighboring countries. Since the fall of the Assad-led government in December 2024, more than 1.1 million refugees and 1.9 million internally displaced persons have reportedly returned to their areas of origin. Yet despite this increase in the return movements, most displaced Syrians are unlikely to return in the near term, with many citing ongoing concerns over safety, access to services, durable solutions, limited civil documentation, and scarce economic opportunities. Lebanon (LB): Five years of economic crisis have left LB with 3.9M people requiring humanitarian aid. Needs are particularly severe in North and Akkar, remote, underserved, and hosting more than 357,000 Syrian refugees. IRC/partner, GBV Working Group, and Child Protection AoR data/findings show declining access to essential services and decreasing protections, particularly for women & children (girls and boys). IRC studies also find that lack of documentation for those who are discriminated against, or cannot afford or properly follow legal processes, profoundly affects women, limiting movement for fear of interrogation or detention. Lebanon continues to face overlapping humanitarian pressures driven by ongoing insecurity, economic collapse, and large-scale displacement. Despite a November 2024 ceasefire, hostilities and violations persist, contributing to widespread destruction and leaving over 860,000 people internally displaced, with essential services severely disrupted across multiple regions. Akkar and North Lebanon-already among the country's poorest areas-have absorbed substantial new arrivals from Syria, hosting over 17,000 newly displaced individuals in Akkar alone, many living in overcrowded shelters or with host families amid significant gaps in WASH, shelter, and protection services. Simultaneously, return movements to Syria have increased following political shifts there, with more than 146,000 Syrians returning from Lebanon since December 2024; however, conditions in Syria remain unstable, and many returnees face obstacles related to documentation, housing, and livelihoods, raising concerns about the sustainability and voluntariness of returns.
Yemen (YM): W&Gs in YM face acute humanitarian and protection needs, resulting from ten years of conflict. An estimated 21.6M people need humanitarian and protection aid, with 6.1M having catastrophic need, and 4.5M internally displaced (77% women and children)
3. Project Background
The IRC's Regional Integrated Protection and Health Response project (2024-2026) aims to improve safety, health, and well-being for women, children (girls and boys), and vulnerable populations in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. The project integrates GBV prevention and response, SRHR services, MHPSS, and child protection (CP) interventions, alongside capacity strengthening of local actors. The CAD 8 million initiative targets over 127,000 beneficiaries and emphasizes gender equality, GEDI, accountability, and conflict sensitivity.
IRC and partners propose a critical two-year humanitarian intervention in the heavily crisis-impacted regions of northeast Syria, northern Lebanon and Lahj, Yemen, based on the following Theory of Change: IF women and children are able to access quality, lifesaving integrated GBV, SRH, MHPSS and CP services, AND IF social norms support women and girls' rights and promote women and girls' SRHR and condemn GBV, AND IF women-led organizations (WLOs), CBOs, and health systems are strengthened to support SRH rights and leadership to respond to and prevent GBV, THEN women and children will be empowered and safe from GBV, and can achieve their SRH and protection rights (See annex 1 for full Logical Model).
4. Purpose and Objectives of the Evaluation
The final evaluation will assess the project's relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact, aligned with OECD DAC criteria and GAC priorities. Objectives include:
  • Measure Key achievements of intended and unintended outcomes and outputs.
  • Validate the Theory of Change and Assumptions.
  • Identify lessons learned and best practices for future programming and designs specifically for each program area.
  • Assess integration of gender-transformative and localization approaches.
  • Assess the sustainability approach and to what extent this component has been achieved
5. Evaluation Scope and Key Questions
This evaluation is intended to help the IRC answer the following key questions:
• To what extent did the project in its integrated approach improved protection/safety/well-being and health outcomes including SRHR and, MHPSS for women, girls, and children?
• How effective were integrated service models (GBV + SRHR + MHPSS)?
• How sustainable the HOW services delivery through partners and across the WLOs/feminist org as well as the women led community committees?
• How did gender-transformative approaches effectively influenced social norms?
• Did integration of services enhance client's uptake in services, and improve their overall wellbeing by receiving comprehensive and complementary services?
• Any unintended effects/impact on the communities targeted by this project?
6. Evaluation Criteria
Based on the OECD DAC evaluation criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability, and with focus on cross-cutting themes: Gender Equality, GEDI, Accountability, and Conflict Sensitivity, it is expected that the evaluation questions should be answered while addressing the following criteria:
  • Relevance for meeting the targeted beneficiaries' needs, interests, and expectations.
  • Effectiveness of the project activities in achieving the project objectives, the relation between input/resources and the results achieved on the output, outcome and impact level as relevant.
  • Sustainability To what extent activities, results, and effects are expected to continue after the donor intervention has ended. To what extent the project supported institutional capacity building will continue to contribute to the emergency response and building resilience, how realistic the project approach was in achieving sustainable results for beneficiaries including the relation with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Efficiency: Were the objectives achieved so far in a cost-efficient manner by the project implementation, were there any alternatives for achieving the same results with less resources
  • Impact: As explained in more details below, because of methodological limitations, it is not expected that the review will be able to infer causality between the project and expected impacts. Instead, the review can offer perceptions, correlations and descriptive inferences about how perceived changes could be associated with (but not unequivocally caused by) the program. This can be also assessed through analyzing the project impact indicators.
Methodology
The final evaluation will be based on a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach and carried out in line with OECD/DAC evaluation principles to answer the key evaluation questions and make recommendations for next programming. The selected service provider, based on their technical proposal, will determine in collaboration with the IRC the final evaluation approach. The offer should include the following as a minimum:
Research Methods
  • Primary and secondary Desk Review of project documents
  • Quantitative methods, including community and HH surveys.
  • Qualitative methods, including Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), case studies, qualitative surveys (Indicators endline)
Sampling
  • Using a represented sample approach, select the targeted locations for data collection; map-out the homogenous communities across the targeted countries
  • The sample is expected to cover communities at the district/areas level in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.
Data collection
  • Select and design quantitative and qualitative data collection tools based on the identified requirements - Surveys, FGDs and KIIs. Tools should be in-line with global tools, eg, MISP, SPHERE, IRC and WHO.
  • Ensure data collection tools are standardized to support analysis and visualization using Power BI and SPSS
  • Create a detailed evaluation question matrix to map which data collection tools will be used to answer each evaluation question.
  • Select the appropriate data collection tools for specific groups (for example surveys + FGD for community members, KIIs for civil society organizations, municipalities, and other local administration bodies).
  • Recruit and train enumerators in all countries Syria, Yemen and Lebanon.
  • Train the enumerators on the data collection tools.
  • Pilot and roll-out the data collection tools.
  • Ensure data collection processes are aligned with IRC's approach to Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) and in close collaboration with the MEAL unit at IRC Country Program.
