Why NRC?

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. Our 15,000 staff work in crises across 40 countries, providing life-saving and long-term assistance to millions of people every year.

Watch this short video to see NRC in action.

We contribute to the development of policy aiming to protect the rights of the displaced and we call for increased humanitarian funding and engagement on processes that will generate structural changes in protection and assistance in the region.

Haiti is experiencing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in its recent history, with approximately 1.4 million displaced people—a 48% increase since September 2024—and 2 million facing emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 4). The escalating violence, limited humanitarian access, and systemic breakdown of essential services demanded urgent intervention. For this purpose, NRC decided to start up a new operation in Haiti and started programmatic interventions in early 2025 whilst setting up an office in Port-au-Prince. The ongoing start-up continues with a planned expansion to new areas of operations with education and protection and potentially other programmatic areas.

We are looking for people who are passionate about helping refugees and people forced to flee. Are you one of those people? If you are, NRC offers you the opportunity to:

• do demanding and professional work, often in challenging contexts.
• join a work culture that empowers every employee to share ideas and take responsibility.
• be part of a welcoming and supportive community committed to human dignity.
