Background:

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation dedicated to protecting the rights of displaced and affected people during crises. NRC delivers high-quality programmes to support people forced to flee, helping them rebuild their lives and establish a new future. NRC provides immediate humanitarian assistance, prevents further displacement, and contributes to durable solutions. It operates across both new and protracted crises across 40 countries.

In response to the scale, complexity and regionalisation of the Sudan crisis, NRC has seen a significant increase in resources channelled through regional and multi-country projects. The purpose of the Regional Sudan Crisis Adviser position is to ensure effective management, coordination and quality oversight of these regional projects, while strengthening coherence, learning and strategic alignment across country responses linked to the Sudan crisis. The role is designed to provide dedicated capacity at regional level to manage donor-funded regional initiatives and to support country offices to deliver a collective, high-quality Sudan response. The adviser will also collaborate with country advocacy managers and regional advocacy to implement joint advocacy and communication initiatives, in line with the response strategies for the regional crisis.

The Regional Sudan Crisis Adviser, in collaboration with the Head of Programme in the regional team, can access additional support capacity from the Global Resource Pools, be it from the Core Competencies and Thematic pool, Grants Management pool or MEAL pool.

About Norwegian Refugee Council

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee.

We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future. We started our relief efforts after World War Two. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across 40 countries. We specialise in six areas: food security, education, shelter, legal assistance, protection from violence, and water, sanitation and hygiene.

We stand up for people forced to flee. NRC is a determined advocate for displaced people. We promote and defend displaced people's rights and dignity in local communities, with national governments and in the international arena. NRC’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre in Geneva is a global leader in monitoring, reporting on and advocating for people displaced within their own country.

We work with partners across the world through NORCAP, our global provider of humanitarian, development and peacebuilding expertise. NORCAP collaborates with local, national and international partners on finding sustainable solutions to meet the needs of people at risk.

Around 15,000 humanitarians work with the NRC. Most of us are hired locally to work in the field, and a small number are based at our head office in Oslo. Many of our colleagues were once themselves forced to flee their homes.

NRC assisted almost 9.1 million people worldwide in 2024, and with your support, we can help even more.

In order to meet the needs of more than 120 million displaced people worldwide, we need to unite forces across sectors and work together as one team. Through mutual partnerships we are dedicated to finding unique solutions for people who have been forced to flee, helping them build a sustainable future for themselves and their communities.
