CHARITY JOBS IN AFRICA

Organization: Norwegian Refugee Council
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Closing date: 11 Jan 2015

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a non-governmental, humanitarian organization with 60 years of experience in helping to create a safer and more dignified life for refugees and internally displaced people. NRC advocates for the rights of displaced populations and offers assistance within the shelter, education, emergency food security, legal assistance, and water,sanitation and hygiene sectors.

The Norwegian Refugee Council has approximately 4000 committed and competent employees involved in projects across four continents. In addition, NRC runs one of the world’s largest standby rosters -NORCAP, with 650 professionals, ready to be deployed on 72 hours notice when a crisis occurs

Internal displacement in North Kivu (and South Kivu) continues to put DR Congo in the top five displacement crises worldwide. Over the past twenty years, displacement has been a recurrent feature of life in the Kivus – particularly North Kivu, with current estimates placing over 1.7m (OCHA August 2013) people living in displacement in the two Kivu provinces. North Kivu in particular has seen regular ‘waves’ of massive displacement – starting in 1996 with the Congo wars, and with marked peaks in 2000, 2003, 2008-9 and again in 2012-13.
In urban areas such as Goma and surrounding areas, this is a particular challenge. Although current displacement figures only reflect cumulative ‘fresh’ displacement since 2009 – with some level of return incorporated – entire suburbs of Goma have developed considerably in size due to inflows of displaced. At the same time, gaps in urban planning and a lack of managed urban development mean repeated waves of displaced persons into Goma have created huge pressures on existing public infrastructure and services with earlier informal IDP sites effectively becoming part and parcel of shanty towns surrounding the city. The historical lack of engagement in urban programming means both a failure to support steps towards durable solutions – including local integration - for those living in protracted displacement, as well as an inability to respond to new displacement into urban areas.
NRC is also partner of RRR (Recovery Reintegration and Returnees) program of UNDP into stabilization process (I4S) in both south and north Kivu. In line with NRC’s institutional ‘core competencies’ the DRC operation runs a holistic program response to populations affected by conflict and displacement in North and South Kivu provinces. Our ‘Core Competencies’ and primary areas of intervention are shelter, education, food security and livelihoods, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) - with a strong focus on housing, land and property and access to civil documentation, shelter and WASH. NRC undertakes all programs with a strong protection and gender lens, according to NRC’s global protection policy and under the guidance of a dedicated protection advisor in Goma.

All NRC employees are expected to work in accordance with the organisation’s core values: dedication, innovation, inclusivity and accountability. These attitudes and believes shall guide our actions and relationships.
