Amman, Amman, Jordan Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) Full time
"Background


The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent, humanitarian, non-profit, and non-governmental organization providing assistance, protection and durable solutions to refugees and internally displaced persons across 32 countries worldwide.

Within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region NRC operates in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia and operates a MENA Regional Office based in Amman, Jordan.

NRC's programmatic activities include Shelter, Education, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Livelihoods, Camp Management, Protection from Violence and other programmes.

NRC brings to bear a broad range of expertise through integrated programming that works to identify and remove different barriers that prevent people from achieving durable solutions and self-reliance.


The majority of displaced people live in protracted situations over multiple years, where they struggle to access protection, rights and services, and provide for their families.

NRC works with displaced people to enhance their equal access to services and rights.

We remove barriers they face on account of their displacement and support their quest to progress towards greater self-reliance and finding a durable solution to their displacement.

To promote self-reliance and durable solutions for displaced persons, NRC aims to address their specific needs and vulnerabilities in a holistic and integrated area-based response.

Importantly, we focus on removing systemic barriers that displaced people face and create an enabling environment and framework conditions for locally led durable solutions.
