DRC Danish Refugee Council is a private humanitarian organisation, founded in 1956. As a private humanitarian organisation, DRC’s work covers all aspects of refugee issues based on humanitarian principles and human rights.
DRC’s overarching mission is to assist and protect refugees and to empower them towards a better future. We strive to provide sustainable solutions for refugees, displaced people and host communities, coupled with the objective of enabling those we assist to live dignified lives.
Independence and neutrality
DRC works exclusively on the basis of its mandate towards the displaced. DRC focuses on issues concerning refugees and displaced persons, remaining strictly neutral when it comes to party politics. This also means that in conflict settings our humanitarian work is predicated on the principle of independence and neutrality in regard to the conflicting parties.
