</ol>

<p style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a leading nonsectarian, nongovernmental international relief and development organization working with people and communities affected by conflicts around the world with operations in 42 countries. </span></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Founded in 1933, the IRC&rsquo;s mission is to provide emergency relief, post-conflict development and resettlement services; to work for the protection of human rights; and to advocate for those uprooted or affected by violent conflict and oppression.&nbsp; We work to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from Harm to Home.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The IRC opened its Burundi office in 1996, responding to the urgent needs of internally displaced people, focusing on water sanitation, environmental health programming, and protection for vulnerable children.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With the end of the Burundian civil war in 2006 and the ensuing return of Burundian refugees, the IRC took a first step towards post conflict reconstruction programs. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Today, IRC Burundi has a vibrant post-conflict program encompassing prevention and response to gender based violence, child and youth protection and development as well as access to rights and good governance. Since 2010, IRC is responsible for women&rsquo;s protection and empowerment, child protection, social wellbeing and education in the four Congolese refugee camps in Burundi. The IRC has its main office in Bujumbura, serving not only as headquarters but also the base for programs in Bujumbura Rural, sub-offices in Makamba, Muyinga and Ruyigi.</span></span></p>
