Are you passionate about a more inclusive humanitarian ecosystem and local leadership in humanitarian responses? Do you want to support one of the largest humanitarian NGOs in operationalizing its ambitions to support localization – to reinforce rather than replace or compete with existing local initiatives and capacities? Do you understand the challenges and opportunities of contexts characterized by conflict, displacement, fragility and political instability? Do you understand the contexts of West Africa and/or Latin America, especially with regard to local actors and systems relevant to working with people affected by conflict and displacement? And do you bring the seniority, expertise and personality necessary to contribute to the cultural, programmatic and organizational change process needed for those ambitions to become reality? If so, you might be the right candidate for the role as DRC’s Regional Partnership & Localization Advisor in the West Africa, North Africa and Latin America Region!
Introduction
The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future. We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and – whenever possible – for the fulfilment of the wish to return home.
The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956 and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Based in Copenhagen (Denmark) and present in forty countries, the Danish Refugee Council is a non-profit-making, politically independent, non-governmental and non-denominational relief organization.
Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced. All our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.
