Historie

NORCAP is the Norwegian Refugee Council's expert deployment capacity consisting of 650 women and men ready to support the UN, international organisations and national governments within 72 hours when needed.

Since 1991, NORCAP has deployed personnel to more than 8000 assignments globally, making us one of the most sought after standby partners in the world.

NORCAP is funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and operated by the Norwegian Refugee Council.

At any given time, 150 roster members are on assignments. Currently, our experts can be found in Lebanon, Afghanistan, Sahel, Sudan, the horn of Africa, DRC, Haiti and elsewhere.

We strive to make humanitarian efforts more representative and better adapted to the needs and rights of crisis-affected people. Consequently, the emergency roster consists of women and men from Norway, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, with different professional and cultural backgrounds.

Their expertise spans from nutrition to education, engineering, law, communication, shelter, logistics, child protection - and more.
