Background:
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 many countries. We specialise in six areas: cash and market, 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 has been operating in Somalia since 2004, providing critical aid for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees. We work in the hard-to-reach areas – helping families get the food, water, shelter and support they urgently need.
BRCiS is a humanitarian and resilience-building Consortium, led by NRC, that takes a holistic approach to strengthening the capacity of Somali communities to resist and recover from shocks without undermining their pathway out of poverty. Created in 2013, the Consortium has grown into one of the largest resilience programmes in Somalia, delivering integrated, area-based programming across the country through a network of international and local Member agencies and downstream partners. The Consortium is led by the Consortium Management Unit (CMU) which coordinates strategy, quality and reporting across the portfolio.
BRCiS is currently implementing the EU-funded Capacity-building Opportunities for the Betterment of Displacement-Affected Communities (KOBAC) Action, a 36-month, EUR 11 million Action supporting nature-based, durable solutions for DACs in Afgoye (South West State) and Jowhar (Hirshabelle State). The Action is implemented by NRC, with Concern Worldwide as co-applicant, and WARDI and HIJRA engaged as local partners. The Federal Government of Somalia is also engaged in the programme, represented by the National Center for Rural Development and Durable Solutions (NCRDS). KOBAC is designed as a government-driven, area-based Action aligned to the National Solutions Pathway Action Plan (NSPAP 2024-2029) under the National Transformation Plan, and spans strengthened government capacity for durable solutions coordination, whole-system infrastructure design and delivery, and market-based livelihoods, underpinned by a dedicated MEAL workstream.
NRC therefore seeks to recruit an experienced Project Coordinator, based in Mogadishu within the BRCiS CMU, to coordinate and support the implementation of the Action.
