**Short Description**
NORCAP is looking for a national expert for a 6-month assignment to support the strengthening of the Protection Cluster referral mechanism in Ukraine. The assignment will focus on improving the functionality, usability and field application of the existing Service Advisor tool, enhancing coordinated service access, and strengthening the capacity of national and local actors to deliver safe and standardized referrals.
The assignment will directly support the implementation of the issue-based priorities of the Ukraine Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), including frontline response, evacuations, response to attacks and airstrikes, and assistance to vulnerable internally displaced persons (IDPs).
**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.
This assignment supports NORCAP’s commitment to strengthening coordinated, evidence-based protection responses through effective information management and partner collaboration.
NORCAP is supporting the Protection Cluster in Ukraine, led by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which plays a central role in coordinating protection and service delivery across humanitarian partners.
