NRC has been actively engaged in the Education in Emergencies (EiE) sector in Yemen, with excellent presence in Ma’rib governorate, where NRC implemented formal and non-formal education interventions to respond to the protracted conflict and repeated displacement that continue to disrupt children’s access to safe and quality education. The ongoing humanitarian crisis has left schools under-resourced, overcrowded, and vulnerable to future shocks. NRC’s education interventions in Ma’rib will focus on restoring learning opportunities for crisis-affected children, supporting school-based planning, and promoting inclusive and protective learning environments.

The Education Assistant plays a key role in implementing NRC’s education strategy at the field level. This includes supporting the formal education, through driving children to schools, supporting their retention and contributing to the improvement of their learning outcomes and psychological wellbeing. This position operates within an established education program and requires strong collaboration with internal teams (such as WASH, Shelter, and Protection) as well as external actors, including local authorities and cluster partners.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) Geneva leads NRC’s representation with the IASC and UN agencies, and coordinates donor engagement with the UN and Swiss donors. NRC strives to assist and protect vulnerable and displaced people during crises, especially in situations of conflict. Established in 1946, NRC is an independent, humanitarian, non-profit, non-governmental organisation working in around 31 countries with approximately 14’000 staff. NRC employs a rights based approach, challenging those with responsibility to uphold the rights of displaced people set out within national and International Laws. NRC endeavors to secure the acceptance of local stakeholders for activities and is committed to the principles of humanity, neutrality, independence and impartiality.

NRC seeks to engage with all relevant actors in order to promote the full respect for the rights of displaced and vulnerable people; secure and maintain access for humanitarian operations and promote the achievement of durable solutions. NRC Geneva, with the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC), are NRC’s primary presence in Geneva.
