Background
Niger is facing a multifaceted humanitarian crisis marked by deepening conflicts and more violent attacks by non-state armed groups affecting civilians forced to flee, climate related crises with extreme high temperatures followed by devastating floods compromising populations’ livelihoods, all compounded by recent funding cuts for both development and humanitarian aid.
The displacement crisis in Niger counts as of March 2025, 985,784 forcibly displaced people including refugees and asylum seekers (3% increase since 2024), internally displaced people – IDPs (25% increase since last year and returnees (UNHCR, March 2025) For 2025, the number of people in need is projected to rise to 832,946 due to ongoing insecurity and climate-related shocks.
NRC Niger set-up an Area Office in Niamey in 2019 covering field offices in Tillabéri and Maradi regions and has been established as a full-fledged Country Office (CO) since June 2023 to contribute to the protection challenges faced by displaced populations.
The purpose of the Grants Coordinator position is to support the Head of Programme and the programmes team in ensuring effective grants management including, internal and donor compliance requirements, timely and quality reporting as well as supporting proposal development under NRC’s Project Cycle Management (PCM). Under the partnership framework, the position aims to lead the engagement with NRC Niger strategic partners through the partnership cycle, coordinating all the activities and phases working closely with the support and program teams. This position is line-managed by the Head of Programme.
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the world’s authoritative source of data and analysis on internal displacement. Since our establishment in 1998 as part of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), we offer a rigorous, transparent and independent service to the international community, and inform policy and operational decisions to improve the lives of people living in, or at risk of, internal displacement.
With a team of more than 30 people in Geneva and an annual budget of over 5 million USD, we monitor more than 130 countries in the world for which we provide verified, consolidated and multi-sourced estimates of the number of people internally displaced or at risk of becoming displaced by conflict, violence, disasters and development projects. We complement this global data with interdisciplinary research into the drivers, patterns and impacts of internal displacement. Using this evidence, we provide tailor-made advice and support to inform global, regional and national policy-making. Our data and evidence are published on our website and via our Global Internal Displacement Database (http://www.internal-displacement.org/database/displacement-data). Our flagship report, the Global Report on Internal Displacement (https://www.internal-displacement.org/global-report/grid2020/), published every year in May, is the world reference on IDP statistics, featuring trends and thematic analyses, country and regional spotlights.
