NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peace-building partners, because we believe working together is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time. We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. NORCAP’s aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people. NORCAP works with and through our partners to improve aid in two complementary ways: 

• We provide targeted expertise to strengthen our partners’ response.
• We collaborate with partners to develop solutions to un-met gaps and challenges.

This role contributes directly to NORCAP’s commitment to strengthening locally led responses by supporting the systems, partnerships, and knowledge-sharing initiatives that help national civil society organisations grow, collaborate, and increase their impact. 

PLRCAP (Promoting Local Response Capacities and Partnership) supports Nigerian local and national civil society organisations through organisational development, technical assistance, mentoring, learning opportunities, and institutional capacity strengthening. Through its NGO Support Hub, PLRCAP provides access to resources, expertise, peer learning, communities of practice, and partnership opportunities that help organisations strengthen their effectiveness and sustainability. Founded by the Nigerian International Non-Governmental Organisation Forum and now part of NORCAP, PLRCAP forms part of NORCAP's Lake Chad Localisation Programme.
