About the Context The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been operating in Nigeria since 2015, delivering humanitarian assistance and durable solutions to conflict-affected and displaced populations. NRC works across multiple core competencies, including Education, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and Protection from Violence. Through direct implementation and partnerships, NRC supports displaced persons, returnees, and vulnerable host communities to meet their immediate needs, strengthen resilience, and pursue long-term recovery and self-reliance. NRC is committed to principled humanitarian action, safeguarding, accountability to affected populations, and ensuring that assistance reaches those most in need.

NRC has zero tolerance for inaction in responding to acts of sexual exploitation and abuse, fraud and corruption and other misconduct by staff that may harm NRC project participants, host communities, other staff or assets. To investigate allegations of such misconduct, NRC has established a global investigatory function that is part of the Global Integrity Unit (GIU). The aim of the GIU is to provide consistent and high-quality investigatory services for the organisation and to strengthen NRC’s prevention of misconduct. NRC has identified the need for a professional investigator dedicated to the Nigeria Country Programme. The Anti-corruption and Investigations Advisor in Nigeria will work within Speak Up framework established by the GIU, focusing specifically on misconduct investigations in Nigeria.
