NRC has delivered Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) activities in Mocímboa da Praia since 2024, supporting displaced, returnee and host community members to access information on their rights and obtain civil documentation. As returns to the district continue and needs remain significant, NRC is now establishing a full-time ICLA team based in Mocímboa da Praia to ensure a sustained, accessible and community-based presence. The ICLA Officer will be part of this team, providing technical support to field activities and contributing to the quality and impact of NRC’s legal assistance programming in the district.
Roles and responsibilities
The Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) Officer will be based at the NRC office in Mocimboa da Praia to implement ICLA program activities and will take regular field trips in Cabo Delgado Province to conduct mobile legal clinics, facilitate information and awareness raising sessions, and assist with other assigned ICLA program activities as relevant.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee.
We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future. We started our relief efforts after World War Two. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across 40 countries. We specialise in six areas: food security, education, shelter, legal assistance, protection from violence, and water, sanitation and hygiene.
We stand up for people forced to flee. NRC is a determined advocate for displaced people. We promote and defend displaced people's rights and dignity in local communities, with national governments and in the international arena. NRC’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre in Geneva is a global leader in monitoring, reporting on and advocating for people displaced within their own country.
We work with partners across the world through NORCAP, our global provider of humanitarian, development and peacebuilding expertise. NORCAP collaborates with local, national and international partners on finding sustainable solutions to meet the needs of people at risk.
Around 15,000 humanitarians work with the NRC. Most of us are hired locally to work in the field, and a small number are based at our head office in Oslo. Many of our colleagues were once themselves forced to flee their homes.
NRC assisted almost 9.1 million people worldwide in 2024, and with your support, we can help even more.
In order to meet the needs of more than 120 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.
