NRC Inclusion and Gender Minimum Requirements

Published 06. Jul 2026
l
This document sets out minimum requirements on inclusion and gender. It complements NRC Inclusion and Gender Policy.

Whilst the Policy describes what NRC’s ambition is, these minimum requirements elaborate on how our organisation will put its commitments into practice.

This document includes minimum requirements that cannot be deviated from or adapted. It applies globally to NRC and its entities, including NORCAP and representation offices. It also includes recommendations that may be adapted to context.

The minimum requirements enable all offices to be clear on what the mandated actions are to ensure inclusion and gender are considered in our programmes, in our workforce and organisational culture.

Each section of this document presents what the requirements are to achieve NRC’s four commitments to inclusion and gender:

  • Commitment 1: NRC grounds all its programmes in a solid understanding of gender and diversity issues
  • Commitment 2: NRC delivers humanitarian programmes that promote gender equality and support inclusion
  • Commitment 3: NRC commits to building a diverse workforce and an inclusive, safe, and equitable organisational culture that reflects and respects the communities we serve
  • Commitment 4: NRC mainstreams inclusion and gender across all its work, partnerships, policies and strategies
