Youth Expert Nrc/norcap Geneva
vor 1 Woche
With expertise in the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors, we collaborate with local, national and international partners on finding solutions that meet the needs of people at risk.
We do this by:
- Supporting humanitarian, development and peacebuilding initiatives that protect and empower people.
- Improving impact at the global and local level through joint projects with partners and stakeholders
- Providing expertise and developing capacity that enable partners to meet the needs of people in fragile situations and crises.

- Building bridges between the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors NORCAP is part of the Norwegian Refugee Council.
Youth Expert with a background in Education in Emergencies (EiE) and youth fields. You will be hosted by NRC in Geneva for the duration of 6 months until end of 2024.
In partnership with the Youth Compact hosted by NRC in Geneva you will work on:
- Strengthening the Youth Compact National Chapters Community of Practice, building on the recent Learning Report across 7 country contexts;
- Strengthen and expand the demand for NORCAP's pool of youth experts, including partnership brokering, fundraising, development of NORCAP's approach and available resources;
Bridge the Youth Compact and the EiE sector's work to improve collaboration on strategic planning and initiatives, joint advocacy and capacity strengthening for EiE youth programming as well as generate demand for youth expert assignments.
Context
NORCAP recognises that humanitarian responses are not sufficiently adapted to the various and specific needs of young people.
Adolescents and youth are often left to fend for themselves in extremely challenging circumstances and must navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood without support or protection.
It means that their rights as young people are neglected and that they are unable to access integrated services in humanitarian situations.
The international community has increasingly recognised the potential to increase the impact, relevance, and quality of programming by adapting it to the needs of youth and that tapping into their potential as agents of change can provide enormous returns.
Guidance on youth participation and youth-adapted programming has been developed, but in the humanitarian sector particularly, expertise and leadership within youth participation and programming is still lacking.
Main tasks and responsibilities
Under the supervision of the NORCAP Thematic Manager, with technical supervision provided by the NRC's Global Youth Specialist and the Global Education Advisor, the Youth Expert will have the following tasks and responsibilities:
Community of Practice
In collaboration with UNFPA Youth Teams in New York, create a Youth Compact Chapter Toolkit, collating and adapting existing resources from the National Chapter Community of Practice and available IASC Youth Guidelines training resources, and advocacy resources which can be used by NORCAP Youth Experts and the community of practice.
Coordinate two Community of Practice meetings, responding to requested areas of support including multi-sector needs assessment and, with UNFPA support, map the humanitarian architecture relating to youth concerns and amplify the key advocacy messages from the national Chapters.
NORCAP pool of Youth experts
Develop NORCAP's approach and concept to youth assignments in close collaboration with NORCAP's Education Thematic Manager
Engage Youth Compact Members, especially UNFPA, UNICEF, UNHCR, ILO and Member States, to identify existing demand for NORCAP Youth Expert assignments, develop a joint proposal and engage donors with the support of the Youth Compact Secretariat.
