Employer
Name: Norwegian Refugee Council
Application
Deadline: 28-02-2017
Description
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a
non-governmental, humanitarian organization with 60 years of experience in
helping to create a safer and more dignified life for refugees and internally
displaced people. NRC advocates for the rights of displaced populations and
offers assistance within the shelter, emergency food security, and water,
sanitation and hygiene sectors.
The Norwegian Refugee Council has approximately 5000 committed and competent employees involved in projects across four continents. In addition, NRC runs one of the world’s largest standby rosters, NORCAP, with 650 professionals, ready to be deployed on 72 hours’ notice when a crisis occurs.
In mid-April 2016, NRC conducted a pre-assessment mission in the refugee camps in north western Tanzania and the assessment revealed that the humanitarian situation for the refugees requires urgent intervention and NRC therefore decided to establish an operational office in Kibondo town, to respond in Mtendeli and/or Nduta refugee camps. The initial interventions will focus in three sectors; shelter, WASH and education (initially construction of permanent classrooms).
NRC is therefore seeking a French speaking Education Officer for the NRC Office in Kibondo, Tanzania. The Education Officer reports to the Education Programme Development Manager.
