Through direct implementation and partnerships, NRC supports displaced persons, returnees, and vulnerable host communities to meet their immediate needs, strengthen resilience, and pursue long-term recovery and self-reliance. NRC is committed to principled humanitarian action, safeguarding, accountability to affected populations, and ensuring that assistance reaches those most in need.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">NRC has zero tolerance for inaction in responding to acts of sexual exploitation and abuse, fraud and corruption and other misconduct by staff that may harm NRC project participants, host communities, other staff or assets.
