NRC has been present in Nigeria since 2015 and has been working to help displacement affected communities meet their basic needs, improve their livelihoods, access essential services, and enhance their resilience to future shocks through our six core competencies: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter, Education, Information-Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Livelihoods and Food Security (LFS), Camp Management, and Protection from Violence. NRC provides immediate assistance during the onset of emergencies through the rapid response mechanism (RRM) focused on cash assistance. In Nigeria, we are also piloting and refining several approaches to local partnership, through which we are helping local civil society reach hundreds of thousands of people annually. NRC has also been a key advocate for displacement in the country, and a key stakeholder in efforts on durable solutions. With a workforce of approximately 250 staff and presence in key locations such as Maiduguri (in Borno State), Yola (in Adamawa state) and Jos (in Plateau state), NRC can respond to the needs of those affected by the conflict across Northeast and North-Central directly, and across the country via our partners.
NRC has been impacted by the recent changes in US foreign policy and suspensions of USAID programs, but we continue to implement activities in partnership with our Scandinavian and European donor agencies, and we are continuing to implement life-saving activities under resumed USAID programming. As a result of reduced funding, however, NRC is now in the process of consolidating its Area Office North (Borno) and its Area Office South (Adamawa) into one Area Office Northeast, with programs and partnerships across both states under a unified area management structure.
We are looking for people who are passionate about helping refugees and people forced to flee.
If you are those people, the Norwegian Refugee Council in Nigeria is looking for an enthusiastic and passionate HR Coordinator to join our team in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory. The HR Coordinator is responsible for supporting the strategic delivery of HR functions across NRC Nigeria, with a primary focus on Learning and Development (L&D), HR support for partnership projects, recruitment, and administration. The role will oversee HR processes related to NRC’s partnerships, ensuring full compliance with donor regulations and national labour laws.
