Icmc Deployment Scheme

The International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) is an international non-governmental organization serving and protecting uprooted people: refugees, internally displaced persons and migrants, regardless of faith, race, ethnicity or nationality. ICMC operates around the world in partnership with government, local actors, faith-based organizations, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other partners. The Deployment Scheme is a specific program that was established as a partnership between UNHCR and ICMC in 1998. It consists of a pool of experts who play a key role in supporting refugee protection-related activities worldwide. The pool includes almost 400 qualified professionals from diverse backgrounds, who are ready to be deployed on short notice to UNHCR’s field operations whenever crucial support is needed.
