Description

NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peacebuilding partners, because we believe working together is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time. We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. NORCAP’s aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people. NORCAP works with and through our partners to improve aid in two complementary ways: • We provide targeted expertise to strengthen our partners’ response. • We collaborate with partners to develop solutions to un‑met gaps and challenges. In line with this mission, NORCAP is partnering with the Alliance of Ukrainian Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), hosted by NRC Ukraine, to strengthen locally led approaches to funding and resource mobilisation. The Alliance brings together Ukrainian CSOs to advance localisation by increasing their access to funding, influence, and decision‑making within humanitarian and recovery responses. This role is central to advancing NORCAP’s commitment to localisation by strengthening how funding is mobilised, governed, and accessed by national actors. The Role The Locally Led Funding Adviser will lead efforts to develop a more coordinated and effective ecosystem for locally led resource mobilisation in Ukraine. This includes establishing and facilitating a Community of Practice and a multi‑stakeholder Working Group to improve collaboration, knowledge‑sharing, and alignment across funding actors. Success in the role means stronger coordination, practical tools and policy guidance, and increased access to diverse funding streams for Ukrainian civil society organisations. The role is based in Kyiv, Ukraine, with travel as required. The contract will start as soon as possible and runs until 31 December 2026, with the possibility of extension subject to funding, performance, and partner needs.
