The International Rescue Committee is an international organization specializing in emergency and humanitarian programming. In response to the influx of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, the IRC started a Women’s Protection and Empowerment (WPE) program in late 2012 in North Lebanon and the Beka’a Valley. The WPE Sr. Program Officer is a key position in the WPE Program, and supports the Program Manager by identifying key advocacy issues, refining and revising program design, and monitoring program implementation and quality.
