About NORCAP
NORCAP, the Norwegian Refugee Council’s expert deployment capacity, aims to improve international and local capacity to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. We do this by bringing different actors together and deploying experts to the UN, international and regional organisations and national institutions.
Since the establishment in 1991, NORCAP has deployed experts to more than 9,000 missions worldwide. The NORCAP roster is our largest standby roster covering a wide range of competencies. In collaboration with the UN and other partners, NORCAP also operates seven thematic rosters. These provide high-level support through specialised expertise in the areas of protection, gender, needs assessments, mediation, camp coordination, cash and markets and communication with affected communities.
Experts on these rosters work across sectors to improve the response to needs on the ground. Across all our rosters NORCAP has more than 900 experienced professionals, recruited to meet the changing demands of a wide range of contexts and crises.
