  • Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) is seeking a consultant(s) to conduct an independent evaluation of NCA’s humanitarian response in Borno, Northern Nigeria, In 2017 NCA cooperated with ACT Alliance partner Christian Aid (CAID), NCA was responsible for GBV, NCA/CAID had joint responsibility for WASH, whereas CAID was responsible for the food security response.

In late 2017 NCA obtained temporary registration, and from 2018 NCA have implemented programs on GBViE and WASH directly and in cooperation with local partners.
  • The geographic focus in 2018 was largely in the North East of Nigeria focussing on five LGAs; Mafa and Dikwa (direct implementation) and Askira, Chibok and Konduga (through local partners) and targeting internally displaced populations as wells as vulnerable host communities. With support from UNHCR, NCA also established a refugee response in the southern region at the Cameroonian border, focussing only on WASH.
