Area Manager Kakuma - Horn of Africa

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been present in Somalia since early 2004 and has since expanded its programme to Kenya in 2006, to Ethiopia in 2011 and Yemen startup in 2012. The Regional Office is based in Nairobi, Kenya with offices and operations in Somalia (Puntland, Somaliland and Mogadishu), Kenya (Dadaab and Molo) , Ethiopia (Addis Abeba and Dolo Ado) and in Sana, Yemen.

The NRC Horn of Africa mission is an expanding program. NRC is starting its operations in the Kakuma refugee camp in early 2012 as a consequence of the expansion of the camps there, in response to the extreme overflow in the refugee camps of Dadaab and in support to the search for more viable refugee camp solutions. The camps in Kakuma currently host approximately 90,000 refugees, 55% of which are Somalis and 35% Sudanese. NRC will be working within the sectors of water, sanitation and hygiene as well as exploring the possibilities of programme activities within the shelter and education sectors. The operational environment in Kakuma is peaceful and allows for direct implementation of programmes, in cooperation with refugees and host community
