Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) Horn of Africa is expanding its operations and are seeking new staff
Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is been present in Somalia since early 2004 and has since expanded its Horn of Africa Programme to Kenya in 2006 and to Ethiopia in 2011. Since 2004, the NRC has demonstrated a regional competence and expertise in working with displaced populations.
The Regional Office is based in Nairobi, Kenya with offices and operations in Somalia (Puntland, Somaliland and Mogadishu), Kenya (Dadaab, Kakuma and Molo), Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Dolo Ado, Shire and Asosa) and Yemen (Sana’a and Aden).
The NRC Horn of Africa mission is an expanding programme.
NRC started its operations in Kenya in the refugee camps in Dadaab in February 2007 and initiated shelter activities targeting Post-Election Violence IDPs in the Rift Valley region of Kenya in 2011.
NRC then expanded its refugee programme in Kenya to Kakuma camps where it initiated sanitation and hygiene activities in the first half of 2012.
Prioritized activities focus on shelter and infrastructure construction; water, hygiene and sanitation; emergency education including youth education; protection; food security and livelihoods.
Programmes target both emergency responses to acute crises as well as the capacity to address recurring protection needs of refugee or IDP populations through durable solutions. Obtaining and maintaining access to the displaced populations remains the main operational challenge in the Horn of Africa region and in particular in Somalia.
We are looking for committed and skilled staff that would like to contribute to NRC’s work in Kenya.
