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 peacebuilding 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 unmet gaps and challenges.
Through its partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), NORCAP supports efforts to strengthen inclusive, survivor-centred approaches that improve protection and access to services for people affected by crisis.
Since the escalation of the armed conflict in Ukraine, gender-based violence risks have increased significantly. While women and girls continue to be disproportionately affected, men and boys are also exposed to violence, including conflict-related sexual violence, detention-related abuse, harassment, and intimate partner violence. UNFPA is working with partners across Ukraine to strengthen prevention, response, coordination, and access to specialised services, while also addressing the psychosocial and reintegration needs of veterans and conflict-affected populations.
This role is central to advancing inclusive, survivor-centred gender-based violence programming and strengthening coordinated responses for men and boys affected by violence in Ukraine.
The position is based in Dnipro, Ukraine, with responsibility for supporting activities nationwide and a particular focus on eastern Ukraine. The assignment is for seven months and reports to the GBV Programme and Coordination Advisor, with day-to-day supervision from the Deputy GBV Workstream Coordinator based in Dnipro.
