About Norwegian Refugee Council

Le Conseil Norvégien pour les réfugiés (NRC) est une organisation humanitaire indépendante qui aide les personnes obligées à fuir.

Nous travaillons sur des crises à travers 31 pays, fournissant chaque année une assistance en urgence et sur le long terme à des millions de personnes. Nous assistons les personnes obligées à fuir en défendant leurs droits.

NORCAP, notre capacité de déploiement d’expert, contribue à améliorer la capacité internationale et locale pour prévenir, se préparer, répondre aux crises et s’en relever. NRC gère également le centre de suivi des déplacements interne à Genève, un leader mondial dans le rapportage et le plaidoyer pour les personnes déplacées dans leur propre pays.

Un contrat d’embauche avec NRC peut vous amener à être employé – ou déployé, dans des régions, pays, zones ou bureaux dans lesquels existent des risques de santé, de sûreté et de sécurité non-négligeables. C’est un aspect que NRC prend très au sérieux et des procédures sont en place afin de réduire la prise de risques connus, sans pouvoir toutefois les faire complètement disparaître.

NRC est un employeur qui garantit l’égalité des chances et qui vise à avoir une diversité de personnel en termes d’âge, de sexe, d’origine ethnique, de nationalité et de capacité physique.
