Updated 21. Mar 2025 [Global](https://www.nrc.no/themes?categoryId=23) This article was first published more than 10 years ago In order to meet the needs of more than 100 million displaced people worldwide, we need to unite forces across sectors and work together as one team. Through mutual partnerships we are dedicated to finding unique solutions for people who have been forced to flee, helping them build a sustainable future for themselves and their communities. The global displacement situation is one our time’s greatest challenges and a partnership with NRC can help you maximise your social impact and contribute to solving a global challenge. You can get unique insight from our experienced humanitarian workers and exchange expertise. A partnership with NRC can also be your opportunity to discover innovative solutions towards assisting people in most need. NRC works hard to find the best solutions and deliver services in areas where few other organisations operate. We take great pride in tailoring each partnership to help you maximise your social impact and achieve your strategic objectives. We have a dedicated private sector partnerships team that personally follows up on all partner correspondence, offers strategic advice, assists with employee engagment, and more. *Curious to learn more about our partnership opportunities?* Reach out to our email [corporate@nrc.no](mailto:corporate@nrc.no) to set up an informal chat to discuss our shared values and potential for cooperation.
