About NRC
The Norwegian Refugee Council has an interesting and rewarding opportunity to be part of our newest country of operation – Sudan.
The NRC has recently re-registered to operate in Sudan, and is currently in country start-up phase, conducting assessments and designing the first steps of the programme. Focus will be given to people displaced by conflict, refugees, and vulnerable migrants, and potential geographical areas of work will be Khartoum state, South Kordofan and Blue Nile on a first phase, with the idea to expand to other States.
As a priority, NRC is therefore hiring a Logistics Officer to be part of establishing NRC’s programme in Sudan.

Our rapid response and mobile emergency interventions is one of our largest activities in Sudan. We reach vulnerable people in remote areas that are difficult to access.
NRC is using three transfer modalities in its cash assistance in Sudan, according to context and possibility (OTC, MM and e-voucher). Sudan has signed with the “Better Than Cash” global initiative promising to digitalize as much as possible the cash assistance in the country. NRC is currently covering Khartoum and Gadaref states with cash in some open areas and refugee camps.
NRC is also chairing the Sub-National CWG in Gadaref, co-chaired by UNHCR and is a very active member of the national Cash Working Group and working closely in collaboration with the national and regional partners, and NRC Sudan follows the regional hallmarks set in 2020 for the global strategy.
