Background:
NRC has been working in Burkina Faso and Niger as one country program since 2019. In 2023 the organisation is moving to establish two independent country offices, in order to better respond to the increasing humanitarian needs in new areas of operations in both countries.
NRC is dedicated to assisting people affected by conflict. Its humanitarian interventions are based on its programming expertise in the Core Competencies (CC) of Shelter, Education, Water, Sanitation and Sanitation, Livelihoods and Food Security, along with Information Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) to vulnerable displaced people that were forced to flee.
In Niger, according to the UNOCHA, approximately 530,000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance. Approximately 300,000 people are IDPs (internally displaced people) and 230,000 people are refugees fleeing from Nigeria, Mali and Burkina Faso. Currently, NRC Niger Area programming is taking place in some of the most vulnerable areas such as Maradi, Tahoua and Tillaberi regions. This position will be based in Maradi, covering the NRC programme in Maradi and Tahoua, with responsibility for the programme in Tillaberi region with support from the Country Office in Niamey.
