NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peacebuilding partners, because we believe working together is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time. We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. NORCAP’s aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people. NORCAP works with and through our partners to improve aid in two complementary ways:
In line with our strategy, NORCAP is developing an Emergency Response Roster consisting of highly experienced, field-oriented specialists who can deploy rapidly to complex emergencies and provide operational surge support, normally for 3–6 months.
The roster is designed to provide timely humanitarian surge support to UN agencies responding to sudden onset crises and humanitarian emergencies. Specialists in the roster will provide complementary, sequenced, support at country and field level in crises, based on identified operational needs.
Key characteristics of the specialists in the Emergency Response Roster:
The Information Management Specialist will provide technical and coordination support for humanitarian information management at country and sub-national level in sudden-onset and complex emergencies by strengthening information management systems, supporting analysis and evidence-based decision-making, and ensuring that relevant, timely and actionable information is available to response actors.
They will support partners and humanitarian coordination structures to establish, strengthen and maintain effective information management systems during emergency responses. They work across UN agencies, government counterparts, national and international NGOs, clusters/sectors, inter-agency coordination mechanisms and other relevant response actors.
Disclaimer:
Please note that inclusion in the emergency response roster does not guarantee assignments with NORCAP and is not a permanent position. Being a part of the roster indicates a higher level of readiness and suitability for rapid emergency response assignments.
