ABOUT US

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organization that helps people forcibly displaced.
We respond to crises in more than 30 countries, providing emergency and long-term assistance to millions of people each year. We protect people forced to flee, advocating for their rights.
NORCAP, our ability to mobilize experts, helps improve local and international skills to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. NRC also runs the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC) in Geneva, a global leader in information and advocacy for internally displaced people.
An employment contract with NRC may result in being employed – or posted – to a region, country, area or office where significant health and safety risks exist. NRC takes that very seriously and we have procedures to reduce exposure to known risks, without being able to eliminate the risk completely.
NRC is an equal opportunity employer and seeks diversity in its staff in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, nationality and physical ability.
