Background:

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation dedicated to protecting the rights of displaced and affected people during crises. NRC delivers high-quality programmes to support people forced to flee, helping them rebuild their lives and establish a new future. NRC provides immediate humanitarian assistance, prevents further displacement, and contributes to durable solutions. It operates across both new and protracted crises across 40 countries.

In response to the scale, complexity and regionalisation of the Sudan crisis, NRC has seen a significant increase in resources channelled through regional and multi-country projects. The purpose of the Regional Sudan Crisis Adviser position is to ensure effective management, coordination and quality oversight of these regional projects, while strengthening coherence, learning and strategic alignment across country responses linked to the Sudan crisis. The role is designed to provide dedicated capacity at regional level to manage donor-funded regional initiatives and to support country offices to deliver a collective, high-quality Sudan response. The adviser will also collaborate with country advocacy managers and regional advocacy to implement joint advocacy and communication initiatives, in line with the response strategies for the regional crisis. 

The Regional Sudan Crisis Adviser, in collaboration with the Head of Programme in the regional team, can access additional support capacity from the Global Resource Pools, be it from the Core Competencies and Thematic pool, Grants Management pool or MEAL pool.
