Given the size of the humanitarian sector, this is not something that can be taken lightly. Avoiding duplication and minimising gaps, particularly when considering the scale of needs and volume of responders, require effective coordination.</p> <h2>Our priorities</h2> <p>To promote the strengthening of the interagency humanitarian system, NRC engages in the following areas:</p> <ul> <li>Streamlined coordination structures</li> <li>Improved humanitarian programme cycle/prioritisation process</li> <li>Greater performance accountability for humanitarian leaders</li> <li>Improved leadership and attention to protection<br /><br /></li> </ul> <h3>Publications</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://interagencystandingcommittee.org/sites/default/files/migrated/2022-05/Independent%20review%20of%20the%20implementation%20of%20the%20IASC%20Protection%20Policy.pdf">Independent review of the implementation of the IASC Protection Policy</a> (2022)</li> </ul> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="article-page__bottom-content-area article-page-container"> </div> <div class="article-page__bottom-space"></div> </article> </main> </main> <footer class="footer-gray"> <section class="footer-gray__top-bar"> <div class="footer-gray__top-bar-left-links-container"> <a href="/media-centre/"><span>Media centre</span></a> <span class="footer-gray__vertical-divider"></span> <a href="/careers/"><span>Careers</span></a> <span class="footer-gray__vertical-divider"></span> <a href="/procurement/"><span>Tenders</span></a> <span class="footer-gray__vertical-divider"></span> </div> <div class="footer-gray__top-bar-right-links-container"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/norwegianrefugeecouncil/" class="footer-gray__social-media-icon"> <span alt="http://www.facebook.com/norwegianrefugeecouncil/" data-svg="facebook"></span> </a> <a href="http://instagram.com/nrc_norway" class="footer-gray__social-media-icon"> <span alt="http://instagram.com/nrc_norway" data-svg="instagram"></span> </a> <a href="http://twitter.com/intent/follow?source=followbutton&variant=1.0&screen_name=NRC_Norway" class="footer-gray__social-media-icon"> <span alt="http://twitter.com/intent/follow?source=followbutton&variant=1.0&screen_name=NRC_Norway" data-svg="twitter"></span> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/norwegian-refugee-council/" class="footer-gray__social-media-icon"> <span alt="https://www.linkedin.com/company/norwegian-refugee-council/" data-svg="linkedin"></span> </a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NorwRefugeeCouncil?sub_confirmation=1" class="footer-gray__social-media-icon"> <span alt="https://www.youtube.com/@NorwRefugeeCouncil?sub_confirmation=1" data-svg="youtube"></span> </a> </div> </section> <div class="footer-gray__column-container"> <div class="footer-gray__column"> <div class="footer-gray__title">Norwegian Refugee Council</div> <div class="footer-gray__text"><p>Prinsens gate 2<br />0152 Oslo<br />Norway</p></div> </div> <div class="footer-gray__column"> <div class="footer-gray__second-column"> <div class="footer-gray__second-column-flex-container"> <h2 class="footer-gray__title">Switchboard (08-15 CET)</h2> <div class="footer-gray__text footer-gray__second-column-text"><p>+47 23 10 98 00<br /><a href="mailto:nrc@nrc.no">nrc@nrc.no</a></p></div> </div> <div class="footer-gray__second-column-flex-container"> <h2 class="footer-gray__title">Media hotline</h2> <div class="footer-gray__text"><p>+47 90 56 23 29<br /><a href="mailto:media@nrc.no">media@nrc.no</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-gray__column"> <h2 class="footer-gray__title">Donor support</h2> <div class="footer-gray__text"><p>Phone: +47 800 33 503<br />SMS: +47 594 48 256</p> <p><a href="mailto:fundraising@nrc.no">fundraising@nrc.no</a></p></div> </div> <div class="footer-gray__column"> <div class="footer-gray__pie-chart-container"> <div class="footer-gray__pie-chart-image"> <img src="/globalassets/graphics/piechart.svg" alt="90"/> <span class="footer-gray__pie-chart-percent">90%</span> </div> <div class="footer-gray__text footer-gray__pie-chart-description"><p>Over 90 per cent of our global revenue goes directly to fulfil our purpose.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-gray__bottom-links"> <div class="footer_gray__bottom-link-item"> <span> </span> <a href="/privacy-policy/" style="display: flex"> Privacy policy </a> </div> <div class="footer_gray__bottom-link-item"> <span> </span> <a href="/about-cookies/" style="display: flex"> About cookies </a> </div> <div class="footer_gray__bottom-link-item"> <span>NRC © 1996-2024 </span> </div> </div> </footer> <script> function _onAssetLoaded() { Nrc.PageInit.instance().init();
