THIS RECRUITMENT IS SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION OF GRANT AWARD

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) provides essential support to refugees and internally displaced persons worldwide, offering life-saving assistance during the initial stages of displacement crises and supporting transitional and long-term solutions in prolonged displacement situations. We continuously advocate for the rights of those affected by displacement and work to empower them. Our efforts extend across conflict-affected regions, along displacement routes, and in areas where refugees and IDPs settle. By collaborating with local actors and systems, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions to displacement.

Founded in Denmark in 1956, DRC has grown into an international humanitarian organization with over 7,000 staff members and 8,000 volunteers. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, and operating in forty countries, DRC is a non-profit, politically independent, non-governmental, and non-denominational organization. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced individuals. Our work is guided by our core values: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.

A country of around 230M inhabitants, with over 129 million currently living in poverty, Nigeria faces one of the world's most complex humanitarian crises in the world. The fifteen-year conflict in the Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states, driven primarily by the Boko Haram insurgency and its splinter groups (ISWAP and JAS), has resulted in widespread displacement, violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws, and acute protection needs. More than 2.3 million people remain internally displaced in the northeast, while in the Northwest region an additional 1.3M people have been forcibly displaced due to banditry, kidnapping, and herders-farmers conflict.

Northern Nigeria is heavily impacted by climate change, including lengthening lean seasons and erratic rainy seasons and droughts, resulting in food production shortfalls and more population displacements. Severe acute malnutrition is affecting a world-high total of 1.8 million children across BAY and northwestern states.

DRC has been operating in Nigeria since 2016. The Country Office is in Abuja and there are 2 area offices in Maiduguri and Sokoto with sub offices in Gusau, Bama and Banki and a mobile team in Katsina.

The Cash and RRM Consortium is led by DRC and composed of Solidarités International, Impact Initiatives, and three National Partners. The Consortium aims to provide integrated life-saving assistance to address food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and build resilience among conflict and climate-affected populations in Northeast and Northwest Nigeria. It uses unconditional cash transfers to address immediate basic needs, improve food security, and reduce reliance on harmful coping strategies. Complementary services such as Protection, WASH and referrals for Nutrition and Health assistance ensure a holistic approach, especially in areas with rising malnutrition cases. The programme strengthens sector-wide coordination through support for coordination structures, collaboration with stakeholders, and monitoring economic trends and markets. It is supported by a centralized, interoperable information management system that facilitates data sharing and coordination among the humanitarian community.

The Consortium Management Unit will be composed of a Chief-of-Party, Cash Coordinator, Grants and Communications Coordinator, MEAL Coordinator, Finance and Administration Coordinator, and an IM Specialist.
