Stillingstittel: Global Gender Equality Advisor

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The vision of Norwegian People's Aid is Solidarity in Action. We are a politically independent membership-based organisation working in Norway and in more than 35 countries around the world. Founded in 1939 as the labour movement's humanitarian solidarity organisation, NPA aims to improve people's living conditions and to create societies that are more just and more democratic. NPA's international work covers three core areas: Humanitarian Disarmament, Democratisation and Just distribution of power and resources and Humanitarian Action and Crises Response.

Norwegian People's Aid is seeking a Gender Equality Advisor for our Development and Humanitarian Coperation

The Development and Humanitarian Cooperation-department of Norwegian People's Aid supports local organisations across the world, in their efforts to create societies where power and resources are distributed more fairly. Our vision is a world with democratic societies with a just distribution of resources, where the growing inequality gaps are closed. NPAs commits to strive for a world free from discrimination based on gender, and where every human being can fulfil their potential unhindered by discriminating laws, economic and social structures. NPA firmly believes that gender equality needs to be at the core of our work. We support local and national organisations to mobilise people, so that the people together can claim their democratic rights and fight inequality in their societies and globally. To this end, NPA also carries out advocacy on these issues in Norway and internationally, in cooperation with our partners and other likeminded international organisations and networks. Our activities in the humanitarian sector aim to support local organisations, who very often are the first responders in a crisis, to become better equipped to provide humanitarian assistance in situations of man-made or natural disasters. The department has programmes in 19 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin-America, and the Middle East and North Africa-region. We currently support more than 200 local organisations and networks that altogether mobilise thousands of people around the world in the struggle for democracy and against growing inequality.
