Norwegian Refugee Council recrute un(e) Finance Manager
About the Context
Nigeria continues to face a complex and protracted humanitarian crisis driven by armed conflict, insecurity, climate-related shocks, displacement, and economic challenges. The Northeast remains the epicentre of the crisis, where years of conflict have displaced millions of people and disrupted access to basic services, livelihoods, and protection. In addition, increasing levels of violence and displacement in the Northwest and North Central regions, alongside recurrent flooding and food insecurity, have further exacerbated protection and humanitarian needs across the country. The 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan estimates that 5.9 Million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been operating in Nigeria since 2015, delivering humanitarian assistance and durable solutions to conflict-affected and displaced populations. NRC works across multiple core competencies, including Education, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and Protection from Violence.
