As of April 2023, over one million people have fled the war in Ukraine and crossed into the Republic of Moldova. Some 120,000 individuals remain in the country, and it hosts one of the highest number of refugees per capita in Europe. Most are women, children, or older people, and a third are under the age of 18. Often considered one of Europeโs poorest economies, Moldova experienced record-high inflation in 2022. NRC was registered in Moldova in April 2022, with a country office in Chiศinฤu and operations in multiple regions across the country. We implement both directly and through our partners. Our approach prioritises a partner-led response that builds on the capacity of local civil society actors to deliver programmes and work to support national authorities. Our multi-sectoral portfolio encompasses of Information, Counselling, and Legal Assistance; Shelter and Settlements; Protection from Violence; and Education programming. As part of the localisation priorities, NRC Moldova fosters partnerships with diverse actors, invests in thematic and institutional capacity strengthening of local actors, encourages cohesive coordination for addressing humanitarian needs, and creates opportunities/pathways for sustainability of initiatives and organisations.ย As the displacement context in Moldova becomes protracted, we are committed to ensuring that the basic needs of displacement-affected populations are met, prioritising those with specific needs, and to support individuals on their pathway to self-reliance and durable solutions. Displacement-affected people from Ukraine have often been forced to leave their homes behind or have seen their homes destroyed. Many struggle to find a safe and secure place to stay and are left without their social network. People who have lost access to housing and their community are exposed to numerous protection risks and often have no access to infrastructure, basic services, or energy. NRC supports people to exercise their right to adequate housing within safe and healthy settlements. NRC Moldovaโs Shelter & Settlements portfolio is primarily comprised of shelter, including activities related to light-medium housing repairs and a cash-based winterisation and energy crisis response. This is an opportunity to join one of the most respected humanitarian actors in Ukraine that has a strong reputation with donors, embassies, clusters, and peer agencies, and the chance to work with a diverse portfolio of donors and partners.ย Meaningful work, with a high-quality integrated programme that responds to the diverse needs, priorities, and concerns raised by beneficiary communities.ย Female candidates are strongly encouraged to join our work culture that empowers every employee to share ideas and take responsibility.
