Norwegian Red
Cross is a member of the world wide Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the
world's largest humanitarian organization. Our international work is focused on
humanitarian preparedness and response, and is guided by seven fundamental
principles; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary
service, unity and universality.

Red Cross is looking for a passionate and skilled individual to lead the

ultimately enabling efficient and relevant response to epidemics and disease
outbreaks. Norwegian Red Cross has been at the forefront of this project since

Sierra Leone and Madagascar. Currently, an MVP is being piloted in Somaliland,
with more pilot countries expected to start in 2019.
