NRC recruits 01 Cash & Markets Specialist

 

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 31 countries. We specialise in six areas: food security, education, shelter, legal assistance, camp management, 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 respond quickly to emergencies.Our expert deployment capacity, NORCAP, boasts around 1,000 experts from all over the world who can be deployed within 72 hours. Our experts help improve international and local ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises.

Around 6,000 men and women work for the Norwegian Refugee Council.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 fleeing their homes.

 

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is present in five regions in Ethiopia, providing refugees and internally displaced people with emergency relief and help them to rebuild their lives. NRC works within the sectors of Education, Shelter, WASH, Livelihood and Food Security, ICLA (Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance), and Child Protection.

The Cash & Markets specialist (national) will help NRC Ethiopia institutionalise market based programmes (MBP) including cash and voucher interventions, design and implement its market based programme activities, as well as support the coordination of cash activities across the humanitarian community in Ethiopia. The Cash & Markets Specialist will work under the Head of Programs in Addis Ababa and will liaise with core competency specialists (WASH, Livelihoods and food security, education, shelter and Information Counselling and Legal Assistance), thematic advisers (including protection) and support team (finance and logistics in particular).

NRC Ethiopia envisages programs (single core competency and integrated) that are market sensitive, incorporating cash and/or voucher assistance and market support and strengthening activities where appropriate.

The NRC has a growing portfolio of market based programming experience, especially in cash and voucher assistance in Emergency Shelter and Livelihoods and Food Security (cash-for-food and cash-for-livelihood grants), as well as through the child protection program in Shire.

The Cash & Markets specialist will therefore work very closely with area offices and core competency specialist staff – providing on-job capacity building, technical support on market assessments and cash-specific issues such as contracting financial service providers, protection concerns related to cash distributions, collecting and analysing post-distribution monitoring data, etc. for programme development and quality management.

A key role of the Cash & Markets Specialist will be to represent NRC on these groups by providing updates and contributing to discussions and tasks assigned in order to enhance cash and voucher assistance coordination and technical capacity in Ethiopia. It will also include actively participating in all cash-related matters in inter-agency process– in particular the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP).
