Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is searching for highly competent senior finance professionals to fill out positions as Heads of Finance and Administration with our local offices worldwide
DRC is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) which provides protection and promotes durable solutions for refugees and displaced people worldwide suffering from the effects of war and humanitarian crisis. We operate in more than 30 countries servicing over 1.5 million people. In 2013, the organization has been rated no. 1 humanitarian NGO in the world by The Global Journal. The award was given based on DRC’s reputation for operating in some of the most challenging operational environments as well as on the significant increase in activity and institutional donor funding experienced in recent years.

It is and has been an important cornerstone in the achievements of DRC that we strive to maintain the position of the organization as a trustworthy and reliable partner for our donors and beneficiaries by continuing to provide high quality and professional financial management.  Such focus provides a foundation for being able to carry out the operational responsibilities with which the organization has been charged.

NRC has been present in Lebanon since 2006. At present, NRC programs provide support and protection to Palestinian, Iraqi and Syrian refugees through Education, Shelter and Improved Services Provision (an adaptation of Camp Management) activities. NRC also provides Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) activities, for Palestinian and Syrian refugees. Since mid-2012, NRC Lebanon has expanded significantly with an increased focus on providing assistance to refugees fleeing from Syria.

Incorporating strategic advocacy activities into the country-wide program response is a new priority for NRC Lebanon. NRC is present in communities throughout Lebanon. As such, NRC has a strong understanding of the challenges facing refugees and host communities. NRC is in in a position to leverage its experience and analysis to develop national and global policy and advocacy priorities. In addition, NRC’s extensive involvement in the Syrian refugee response has positioned NRC well to participate fully in advocacy initiatives.
The Advocacy and Information Advisor will report to the Country Director.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been operational in South Sudan since 2004, providing assistance to IDPs, returnees, refugees and host communities in areas of significant return. NRC currently operates an integrated programme focused on NRC’s core competencies: Education, Shelter, Food Security, WASH and Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA). The NRC South Sudan programme is implemented in Warrap, Northern Bahr el Gazal and Central Equatoria states. NRC is also exploring the possibility of starting programmes in Jonglei and/or Unity States.
The Country Director (CD) for South Sudan is responsible for providing overall leadership for all activities within the Country Programme.
The Country Director reports to the Head of Section East Africa, NRC Head Office.

Due to the changing profile of a significant part of its target group, NRC will use the next few years building its institutional capacity to respond to situations of displacement into urban areas. Urban displacement is an issue that impacts on all NRC’s core competencies and an advisor with technical expertise is therefore required to oversee programme development and support pilot activities and studies based in the field. A mapping of NRC’s activities in urban areas will also be done to identify relevant experience and good practices, but also gaps in knowledge and practice. NRC wishes to be at the forefront in this field and will therefore invest in capacity building and experience gathering in the field of displacement into urban areas. It is envisaged that within the next 3 years, NRC will be a leading humanitarian agency on urban displacement.
The Adviser is the Norwegian Refugee Council’s resource person within the area of displacement into urban areas, and contributes towards:
Strengthening NRC’s experience, knowledge and capacity in programming for displacement into urban areas by developing tools and methodologies to enhance existing projects and supporting pilot projects developed to test these tools;
Developing policy, strategies and guidelines in collaboration with relevant technical advisers;
Improving and institutionalising the knowledge and experience on displacementinto urban areas within the organisation; and
Contributing to positioning NRC’s as a highly respected humanitarian player globally.
The Urban Displacement Adviser reports to Head of Thematic Technical Support Section, International Programme Department, Oslo

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is currently present in around 20 countries worldwide. We have projects running in countries in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. In addition we maintain offices in Norway, Switzerland and Belgium. The majority of our approximately 3000 staff members are employed locally by NRC in the countries where we work

NRC has been assisting Afghan IDPs and returnees since 2003. The Shelter programme is based in 3 field locations nationally, employing some 50 staff.
With the NRC Programme Director, the Shelter Programme Manager will contribute to the achievement of NRC’s objective that IDP's and Refugee Returnees enjoy improved access to tenure tights (security of tenure) and access to basic civil rights.

The Shelter Programme Manager is a member of the NRC Afghanistan Senior Management Team and reports to the Programme Director.

The purpose of the Camp Logistics Coordinator is to plan and provide effective and efficient logistics services (fleet, procurement, transport, warehousing and reporting) in support of relief assistance activities for 100, 000 beneficiaries over 6 months. Specifically, at the request of technical counterparts, manage the supply chain and team to facilitate accountable and efficient movement of relief items, from receipt at the camp hub to delivery at distribution point or points of use.

Climate change has in the last decade become a concern on the global policy agenda and there is an increasing recognition that climate change poses a threat to peace and stability in many parts of the world, driving progressive environmental degradation by way of deforestation, desertification, water stress or salination and rising sea levels. NRC implements programmes in some of the world’s most environmentally stressed contexts, where environmental degradation and climate change contribute to damaging communities’ resource base causing poverty, conflict and displacement, and in certain cases contributes to prolonged crisis and political instability. It is recognised that humanitarian assistance will need to be more strategic, feed into local systems and promote adaptation and resilience.

For NRC it is imperative to enhance its strategic engagement with the issues of climate change, environment and resilience due to the organisation’s engagement in high level policy development in response to the potentially massive and de-stabilising needs of climate change induced displacement in the near future. NRC wants to become a better partner through an increasing operational engagement and practical experiences with protection issues faced by climate induced displaced persons. Additionally, NRC wants to take a leading role in understanding how these challenges will play out and how the international response system must shift emphasis from international emergency/logistics response to shocks towards greater local engagement and support of local capacities to prepare for and mitigate against the impact of these shocks.

NRC would like to enhance its capacity to be a leading agency within this agenda and will focus on the following:
1. Building a coherent body of practice and cooperation across a community of practice that falls outside of the usual international partnerships in humanitarian assistance;
2. Development of tools and methodologies to better integrate environment/adaption/ resilience into existing core competencies (with a particular focus on food security, shelter and WASH);
3. Pilot a project in a relevant selected field location to test the tools developed to improve relevance and programme quality.
The Environment & Climate Change Adviser reports to Head of Thematic Technical Support Section, International Programme Department, Oslo.

NRC has been present in Lebanon since 2006 initially assisting Lebanese displaced persons and later Palestinian, Iraqi and Syrian refugees. NRC has been providing Education, Shelter and Improved Services Provision (an adaptation of Camp Management) activities. Since March 2012, NRC has also been conducting its Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) activities, initially with Palestinian refugees and, more recently, with Syrian refugees. After conducting a number of reports and assessments, NRC identified that there was a limited response to the lack of rights faced by refugees in Lebanon. Consequently, NRC determined the need for the ICLA project in Lebanon, which will work closely with the other NRC Lebanon projects and activities in order to build on existing relationships develop joint activities and benefit from the comprehensive understanding of the context.

Currently, the main areas of focus for ICLA work include (1) providing a legal response to address the lack of housing, land and property (HLP) rights for Palestinian refugees; and (2) providing assistance in access to rights for refugees fleeing from Syria. Information and counselling for Syrian refugees is currently provided by ICLA field staff located in community centres in the North and East of Lebanon. Given the immediate nature of the influx of Syrian refugees, which looks set to continue, ICLA activities for Syrian refugees has expanded quickly over a short period of time. Consolidation of these activities, to the ICLA organisational structure and preparation for a continued immediate response to refugees still arriving is now a priority for NRC’s ICLA response. The ICLA Project Coordinator will report to the ICLA Programme Manager.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) re-established its presence in Palestine in January 2009 and is developing programme activities in the sectors of Shelter, Education and the provision of Information, Counseling and Legal Assistance (ICLA). The long-term objective of the programme is to contribute to improved protection and living conditions for refugees and internally displaced persons in the Palestine.

• The HoFA is directly responsible for ensuring that DRC Programmes operate in accordance with DRC’s operational standards as expressed in the DRC Operations Handbook and other guidelines in the DRC Accountability and Quality Management system
• The HoFA plays a significant part in qualifying and implementing initiatives coming from the global DRC organisational development initiative.

Background
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been operating in the Middle East and North Africa for over a decade, running a combination of livelihood, protection, advocacy and relief programmes. DRC has eight programme offices throughout Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and a country office/regional office in Amman, Jordan.

DRC started its operations in Syria in 2007 as a response to the influx of Iraqi refugees following the war in Iraq. Since June 2012, the mission has also assisted the conflict affected Syrian population in cooperation with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent as well as other partners such as the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Local Administration. Today, the DRC is the largest INGOs in the Syrian Arab Republic, with a growing emergency intervention making up 60 % of the total portfolio. DRC is currently operating a programme in the whole country, involving around 45 national staff and 4 internationals staff. Currently DRC is supported by UNHCR, UNICEF, ECHO, DANIDA, SIDA and OCHA and the expected annual budget for 2013 is app. 14 million USD.

The program strategy for the DRC Syria emergency activities is Emergency protection / NFIs as well as Shelter and Rehabilitation, with a particular focus on WASH.  The strategic focus on durable solutions in the DRC Community Centres, exemplified by Vocational Training and Livelihood activities, has become complimented by an increasing attention to more imminent protection needs in the centres. The mission thus provides legal and social counselling; PSS and increasingly so outreach activities to displaced communities. Alongside this, the mission provides Education activities as well as Risk Awareness activities in close coordination with the Ministry of Education.

Due to the size and complexity of the programme, there is a need for an experienced Head of Finance and Administration to support and build the capacity of the finance and admin staff at the DRC Syria office.

Background
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an independent, non-profit organization (NGO), founded on the basis of humanitarian principles, and human rights based approach, to secure the protection of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), and to promoting long-term solutions to the problems of forced displacement. The Danish Demining Group is a part of DRC and carries out humanitarian demining and armed violence reduction (AVR) activities.
DRC DDG has been working in South Sudan since 2004 and implements emergency, humanitarian demining, armed violence reduction, livelihood and community driven development activities in six states. The strategic focus of the current South Sudan program is that all forcibly displaced and conflict-affected people can access their rights in a safe and secure environment.
South Sudanese living outside the country have been returning in significant numbers after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement but South Sudan also experiences internal displacement and in 2012-2013 has seen an influx of 180,000 refugees into the northern states of Unity and Upper Nile.  DRC DDG is responding to this displacement but the logistical challenges of ensuring that life-saving supplies reach these remote parts of the country are enormous.   The logistics department also has to ensure a timely and effective service to the non-emergency parts of the operation that also have major logistical requirements particularly Mine Action.

Background
The Danish Refugee Council has been in South Sudan since 2004 mainly working with returning refugees and internally displaced persons returning home after a long civil war. In 2012 DRC opened its operations in Upper Nile State (Maban County) to respond to the large influx of refugees coming from Blue Nile State in Sudan. DRC is the camp manager of the Yusif Batil camp where 35,000 refugees are currently living and also carries out protection and GBV activities in four camps in Maban comprising a population of 105,000 refugees.   In addition, DRC in Maban is managing a workshop and carrying out shelter and livelihood activities. In 2012 DRC in South Sudan merged with the Danish Demining Group bringing together DRC’s protection activities and DDG’s AVR (armed violence reduction) activities.

Stiftelsen Caritas Norge er den katolske kirkes hjelpeorganisasjon. Vi arbeider med utviklings-, nødhjelps- og fredsprogram i en rekke land, og med integrerings- og sosiale tiltak i Norge.

Caritas Norge ønsker å gjennomføre en studie om gruve/utvinningsindustriens effekt på lokalsamfunn i utviklingsland. Slik industri er en økende og nødvendig del av utviklingslandenes økonomiske vekst, men kan også ha negative konsekvenser nasjonalt og lokalt. Caritas Norge har, i samarbeid med lokale partnere, prosjekter i en rekke land der gruvedrift og annen utvinningsindustri er utbredt og en viktig del av landenes økonomi. Samtidig er gruvevirksomhet i disse landene svært omstridt, særlig lokalt.

Sentrale spørsmål som ønskes besvart i studiet er hvordan norske investeringer i gruve/utvinningsindustri påvirker lokal utvikling og om det finnes motsetninger mellom norsk bistandspolitikk og norske utenlandsinvesteringer?

For å utføre arbeidet ønsker vi å ansette en journalist/rapportforfatter i 2,5 måneder. Det forutsettes at forfatteren reiser til minst ett case-land for å innhente informasjon både i form av intervjuer, foto/film og annen form for informasjon.

Mer utfyllende informasjon om prosjektet finner du her.

Ønskede kvalifikasjoner
- Relevant høyere utdanning
- Journalistisk erfaring
- Erfaring med utviklingspolitikk
- Svært god fremstillingsevne både muntlig og skriftlig
- Språkkunnskaper utover norsk og engelsk vil være en fordel

Personlige egenskaper
- Analytisk
- Evne til å jobbe selvstendig

Søknadsfrist er 26. mai.
CV og søknad sendes til stilling@caritas.no, merk e-posten ”Rapportforfatter”.
