Summary by Impactpool

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is seeking a passionate Protection from Violence Technical Assistant to support operations in Konduga, Borno State, Nigeria. This role involves assisting with the day-to-day activities related to protection from violence for displaced communities. NRC has been active in Nigeria since 2015, addressing the needs of those affected by conflict and displacement. The organization focuses on providing essential services and enhancing resilience in crisis-affected areas.

Candidate Requirements:

Passion for helping refugees

Experience in protection from violence operations

Ability to support day-to-day activities

Understanding of humanitarian needs in conflict zones

Since 2015, NRC Nigeria has been working to help displacement-affected communities meet their basic needs, improve their livelihoods, access essential services, and enhance their resilience to future shocks through our six core competencies: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter, Education, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Livelihoods and Food Security (LFS), Camp Management, and Protection. NRC provides immediate assistance during the onset of emergencies through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM).. 

The crisis in Nigeria is marked by brutal violence against civilians, causing acute humanitarian needs and displacement. In the northeast, the 15-year conflict has shattered lives, infrastructure, essential services, and social fabric. 

Two million people are internally displaced across Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states. Approximately half of these live within local communities, increasing pressure on scarce resources. Access to food is limited, particularly in Borno state, where most families are already facing crisis levels of food insecurity. Civilians, including aid workers, continue to be the target of deadly attacks by non-state armed groups, and transport corridors are persistently insecure. 

In the northwest and north-central regions, violence and displacement are rooted in disputes over land and resources, which have been worsened by climate change. Criminality is on the rise. 

Livelihood opportunities are scarce, and children face an uncertain future and are unable to access quality education. Many families have lost identity papers while fleeing or never obtained them, hindering their access to essential services.

These strategic locations have allowed NRC greater reach from the north and south parts of the North-East and North Central region and allowed NRC to contribute to bridging the gap between humanitarian aid and development cooperation, including by focusing on equitable access to basic services and strengthening the rights of displaced people and returnees. In addition to the Country Office and the above-mentioned Area Offices, NRC has sub-office structures in Monguno, Mubi, Pulka and Gwoza.
