About NRC

NRC is currently working in Burkina Faso with staff dedicated to assisting people affected by conflict. Our humanitarian interventions are based on programming expertise in the following core competencies:

• Shelter

• Livelihoods and Food Security
• Protection from Violence
• Information Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA)

Context

Burkina Faso continues to face an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. According to the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan, despite substantial response efforts by the Government and partners, the humanitarian situation has not improved sufficiently to reduce the vulnerability and needs of affected populations.

In 2023, new displacements were reported throughout the year, and the number of civilians affected by security incidents increased. Urgent support is needed to address needs in food security, nutrition, health, and other sectors, as well as to protect civilians.

The 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan targets 3.8 million people from an estimated 6.3 million in need of humanitarian assistance. Approximately two million people (10% of the population) remain internally displaced, of which 53% are women and 52% are boys and girls under 18. All 13 regions in Burkina Faso host Internally Displaced People (IDPs), with high concentrations in the Sahel region (25.7%) and Centre-North.

Position Overview

To support our growth, NRC is recruiting an Access Working Group Co-Lead to work in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
