**LWF World Service** is the humanitarian and development arm of the Lutheran World Federation. We are a widely recognized, international, faith-based organization working in 23 countries.

**NCA** is one of the largest aid organizations in the Nordic region. Together with the international network and partner organizations in the ACT Alliance, NCA is able to reach millions of people each year and help make a positive difference around the world. NCA has provided assistance to the people in Haiti since 1984. NCA is a partnership-based organization with a strong emphasis on local participation, civil society and inclusion.

In Haiti, we, as a LWF/NCA Joint Office, have worked together since 2018. While LWF acts as the formal employer, the appointment is on behalf of both organizations, and the LWF/NCA Representative holds the legal representation for both organizations. In addition to its own staff, the LWF/NCA Joint Office/Country Program in Port-au-Prince currently hosts four international organizations. The Representative serves as the formal host for these entities.

Programmatically, the LWF/NCA focuses on Protection & Gender Justice, DRR and Climate and Environmental Stewardship, Economic Development and Food Security (EDFS), and Climate-Resilient WASH. Working extensively with local partners, the JO/CP aims to offer a coherent, credible, and values driven presence in Haiti that combines humanitarian response, resilience building, and long term development. The Representative will actively monitor and analyse contextual developments in the country and the region and identify potential risks and opportunities. S/he will have a particular responsibility for nurturing collaborative working relations with current partners, leading in the development of new partnerships and funding, while ensuring robust financial management, compliance, and risk mitigation to maintain a sustainable and compliant program portfolio.
