         The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organization helping people forced to flee. Our 15,000 staff work in crises across 40 countries, providing life-saving and long-term assistance to millions of people every year.

         Watch this short video to see NRC in action.

         NRC has been operating in Latin America in a total of 8 countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico with an overall regional budget of approximately 60 million USD and 1,100 dedicated colleagues across the continent. Given the increasing number of displaced people in need of humanitarian assistance in the region, NRC decided to establish a Regional Office in Latin America from early 2024 to oversee the country programmes in the region, and provides strategic guidance and oversight across core programme, advocacy and support functions.

         The Latin America region is facing severe and prolonged humanitarian crises underpinned by several drivers: conflict, violence, socio-economic and political crises. According to OCHA and the Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP) for Venezuela, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance represents more than 27 million people in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and the North of Central America countries (Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala). The increasingly overlapping crises are leading to an unprecedented regional protection crisis with record numbers of transcontinental population movements. In this context, the most vulnerable face multiple protection risks and rights violations along the displacement route. This scenario calls for greater efforts from protection actors in joining capacities to efficiently produce congruent and comparable data and information to inform the humanitarian and protection response. A unified protection monitoring system is the cornerstone to improve articulated regional protection responses and promote the centrality of protection across all sectors overcoming fragmented analysis based on geographical locations and nationalities. To address this gap, DRC and NRC established ProLAC, a regional initiative aiming to build a regional protection information management system.

         We are looking for people who are passionate about helping refugees and people forced to flee. Are you one of those people? If you are, NRC offers you the opportunity to:

         • do demanding and professional work, often in challenging contexts.
         • join a work culture that empowers every employee to share ideas and take responsibility.
         • be part of a welcoming and supportive community committed to human dignity.
