Background Organization and Programme:
The
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international non-governmental
organization with a mission to accompany, serve, and advocate the
rights of refugees and forcibly displaced people. JRS undertakes
services at national and regional levels with the support of an
international office in Rome. Founded in November 1980 as a work of the
Society of Jesus, JRS programs are found in over 50 countries,
providing assistance to refugees in refugee camps, to people displaced
within their own country, and to asylum-seekers in cities and held in
detention. The main areas of work are in the fields of Education,
Advocacy, Emergency Assistance, Pastoral, Health and Nutrition, Income
Generating Activities and Social Services.

In Indonesia, JRS
works with internally displaced people (IDP) affected by conflict as
well as by the tsunami in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) and North
Sumatra Provinces. JRS works on the prevention mechanisms and looks at
the deeper reasons behind the phenomenon of forced migration and does
not limit its service to emergency relief, the policies concerning
their treatment while in exile, and what could be done to spare others
a similar fate.

In choosing and implementing programmes JRS
places an emphasis on the above knowledge in root causes, policy and
prevention and in all programmes aims to find and advocate for durable
solutions for refugees and IDPs. JRS gives direct services,
accompanying the displaced and assisting them to advocate for their
rights.
