== Mercy Corps International ==
Mercy Corps International is the organization's main branch of operation. It focuses on resolving humanitarian and development challenges currently faced by societies in countries of unstable, transitional backgrounds. Mercy Corps International is commonly considered to be a leading organization in its field, contributing "close to 94 percent of its resources to the most vulnerable areas in the world."<ref>{{Cite journal|date=October 2000|title=Mercy Corps International|url=http://commons.lib.jmu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2182&context=cisr-journal|journal=The Journal of Mine Action|volume=4|via=James Madison University Scholarly Commons}}</ref> With primary focuses on disaster relief and capacity building, the organization has also been integrating long-term civil society and human rights initiatives into their humanitarian programs, delivering notable funds and resources to target states of operation.
