The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an international non-governmental organisation of Norwegian origin, present in more than 25 countries worldwide. NRC has been working in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 2001. Its programmes focus on the sectors of Education, Rapid Response to Population Movements (RRMP), Protection from Violence (PfV), Shelter, Wash, Livelihood and Food security, and Information, Counselling, and Legal Assistance (ICLA) in favour of populations forced to move.
Globally, NRC specializes in camp and site management. As part of the influx of people affected by displacement and living in host families and other collective buildings (schools, churches) NRC in coordination with the Division of Humanitarian Affairs (DIVAH) and other actors operating in the health zone has therefore positioned itself to support site management in Minova with financial support from BHA. The program may be gradually extended to cover other health zones and/or provinces, depending on the evolution of the humanitarian situation in the DRC.
