Coming from the NGO and Development world, working both in Guinea and Sierra Leone with powerful international organizations such as CDC, WHO and the likes as partners, I have come to appreciate more of Peace Corps Response as a global development partner. “Peace Corps Response has given me a different perspective about development. In his mind, Peace Corps Response is a critical answer to development needs that aren’t always appropriately addressed by other organizations. However, Peace Corps Response staff overseas remain hard at work, and sharing their stories is one way we can celebrate the 24th anniversary of this unique and necessary program.Įmmanuel Mussah, the Peace Corps Response coordinator in the Republic of Guinea, has been with the program for about two years. To date, more than 3,000 Volunteers have served as Peace Corps Response Volunteers in 83 countries.Īt 24 years old this month, there are no Volunteers currently in the field-all were evacuated in March due to COVID-19. Peace Corps Response continued to expand with the launch of the Advancing Health Professionals program in 2019 to improve health outcomes on a societal level. In 2007, Crisis Corps officially became Peace Corps Response, a change that allowed the program to broaden its scope and to continue to meet the specific, critical needs of the host countries where Volunteers serve. As the program evolved, though, and global needs changed, Crisis Corps became less about addressing the aftermath of actual crises, and more about addressing immediate, unique challenges from our host country partners. The rationale was that Returned Peace Corps Volunteers had been trained in cultural sensitivity already and were up to the challenge of living and working in developing areas-perhaps without the luxury of electricity, running water, or the other comforts of an American home.

At first, as Crisis Corps, only people who had successfully completed full assignments as Peace Corps Volunteers were accepted. Stemming from the Crisis Corps, a short-term assistance program signed into life by President Clinton in 1996, Peace Corps Response sends experienced, skilled Volunteers to global communities for shorter-term, high-impact assignments. Peace Corps Response requires commitment to community, and to the idea of working to address specific issues while embedded within the population, but takes a shorter, more specific approach. They think of Americans with broad skill sets, trained and posted to communities in which they’ll embed themselves-watching and learning at first, participating in their primary job, whether it be teaching or working with communities-and taking it slowly and deliberately. When most people think of the Peace Corps, they think of long-term assignments of two years.
