c. A written understanding or a partnership agreement will be arranged with the local Provincial(s), setting out priorities and the way JRS is to operate in that Province or region. d. Such programs and regions of the international JRS report directly to the International Director and are supported by the international office. Local or autonomous JRS programs 20.In other areas, where the needs are not so overwhelming, or when the Province or Assistancy has the resources to undertake programs of service: a.Provinces and Assistancies may undertake a JRS project, assume responsibility for it and assign personnel to it. b.Programs using the JRS name should only be undertaken or terminated after consultation between the Provincial and the JRS International Director, formalised in a written agreement. c. Such programs will be supported by the international office. Non-JRS programs serving refugees 21.Each Jesuit institution and individual Jesuit, together with their collaborators, is urged to take initiatives in support of refugees. If an agreement has not been reached with JRS, responsibility for the initiative lies wholly with the one who undertakes the project. The JRS name and logo should not be used unless written permission is first obtained from the International Director. Nonetheless JRS, through its international and regional offices, is available to advise, encourage and, if necessary, co-ordinate such projects. C. The organisational structure of JRS The International Director 22.The International Director of JRS, who must be a Jesuit, is appointed by the Superior General of the Society and is accountable to him directly. The International Director serves for an indefinite term, normally not more than eight years. His responsibilities include promoting the Society's refugee ministry and providing the necessary leadership. He is responsible for all apostolates that carry the JRS name. He represents JRS in relation to other Church and international agencies. He determines the boundaries of JRS regions and must give approval before regional offices are established. 20
The council of the International Director 23.The International Director is advised by a Council of three or four Jesuits, who are his consultors. They are appointed by the Superior General and serve for unspecified terms. Together with the International Director, they also serve as the administrative board of the Jesuit Refugee Service Foundation. The international office 24.The International Director heads the international JRS office at the Curia of the Society. He appoints staff and consultants, assigning to each a clear role and function. Regional Directors 25.The Regional Director's position may be filled by a Jesuit, a religious or a lay person. Regional Directors are appointed in one of two ways, depending on kinds of the programs they direct. The procedures for these appointments will be detailed in a written agreement with Jesuit Major Superiors for that region. 26.The first mode of appointment is one initiated by the international JRS (cf. 19. above). Father General, in consultation with the International Director and the relevant Provincial(s) or Regional Superiors, appoints a Regional Director who is directly accountable to the International Director, while also maintaining close relationships with the local Jesuit Provincial(s). 27.In this case, the Regional Director is responsible for JRS activities in the region, including setting up and closing down projects; also for recruitment, orientation, placement, support and termination of workers; for preparing funding applications, evaluating and reporting on work done; for public relations; for maintaining the profile of JRS in the region and developing good relations with the local Jesuit Province(s), and also with Church and civil authorities; and for communications, research and public education concerning the needs of refugees in the region. 28.The second mode of appointment applies when a Provincial or Conference of Provincials is responsible for a JRS regional program (cf. 20 above). Here the initiative in appointing a Regional Director 21
