NRC recruits 01 humanitarian Access Adviser

NRC recruits 01 humanitarian Access Adviser – NRC Niger/Burkina Faso

All NRC employees are expected to work in accordance with the organization’s core values: dedication, innovation, inclusivity, and accountability. These attitudes and believes shall guide our actions and relationships.

Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, situated at the heart of the Sahel. Niger has a lack of state capacity to respond to humanitarian crises and is also bordered by countries affected by conflict and instability (Chad, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Libya in the far North). Then it is part of the migration route towards Northern Africa. Niger recently has been experiencing deterioration in security; rise in cross-border attacks by non-state armed groups – targeting armed forces and community leaders. It has been receiving many refugees from Nigeria, Mali, and lately from Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso has been experiencing an unprecedented rise in violence and humanitarian needs since early 2019. Burkina Faso was a relatively stable country but now the number of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) continues to increase as the government continues struggling to contain the incursions of the non-state armed groups. In January 2019 there were only approximately 20,000 IDPs, now there are estimated to be more than 1,000,000 IDPs and this is expected to continue.
NRC’s program portfolio includes all four core competencies of NRC.  ICLA (Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance), Livelihood and Food Security, WASH, Shelter, and Education.
