Problem Statement
The International Rescue Committee (IRC), to date, has not undertaken analyses on the cost-efficiency of the procurement process undertaken by Global Supply Chain. Understanding the cost- efficiency of procurement will aid IRC in efforts to remain good stewards of funding and to improve the organization’s value for money in the humanitarian response sector. The study was also implemented to improve cost-efficiency across the organization as part of IRC’s Strategy100. The outcomes IRC achieves per dollar spent is affected by a range of factors, including contextual and country-level constraints within the procurement process.
