Job Description:
NORCAP, part of the Norwegian Refugee Council, solves challenges in the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors in order to better protect vulnerable people’s lives and rights. We build partnerships, promote more effective ways of working and provide skilled experts to develop capacity. Since 1991 NORCAP has provided expertise to approximately 10,000 missions across the globe.
We work with and through our partners to address challenges via three core activities:
- We develop partnerships with regional and global organisations and national stakeholders. We believe working together in a coordinated and sustainable manner is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time.
- We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. Our aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people.
- We deploy skilled experts to develop our partner’s capacity. Given their independence from agendas and interests of the organisations they are deployed to, our experts are well placed to identify and address challenges, improve collaboration and encourage new and innovative approaches.
In order to deliver even more effectively on our core activities, NORCAP has gone through an organisational development process aimed at making NORCAP Fit for the 2020’s. One of the outcomes of this process is the establishment of the Innovation, Business development and Analysis (IBA) section. Professionalising our fundraising work and building new strategic partnerships is an integral part of achieving the goals for the new section and the overall ambitions of NORCAP.
