NORCAP has secured a new strategic humanitarian partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) for the period 2025-2029.
NORCAP signs new partnership agreement with Norad
“We are grateful for the continued collaboration and trust from Norad. This partnership strengthens our ability to plan and operate effectively in an increasingly unpredictable world. It is a vital step toward ensuring long-term stability and impact, allowing us to work better with international partners, national authorities and local communities, and deliver meaningful change,” says Benedicte Giæver, NORCAP Executive Director.
With the new partnership agreement, NORCAP aims to:
- involve local and national groups more in developing and providing humanitarian assistance.
- offer expertise to deliver effective and innovative cash and voucher aid.
- improve access to renewable energy for people in need.
- protect civilians from violence by enhancing coordination and proactive protection efforts.
- be accountable to affected people and engaging with communities.
- provide expertise on how to prevent sexual and gender-based violence, including support for men and boys, and enhancing the humanitarian system’s ability to coordinate and mobilise resources.
- improve coordination and preparedness for international emergency response.
As one of Norad’s six strategic partnerships during this time period, NORCAP will receive a total of 690 million NOK, divided equally over the five years.
The new partnership is a continuation of our long-standing cooperation with Norwegian authorities and commitment to addressing global humanitarian, development and peacebuilding challenges.
