WASH MANAGER IN ETHIOPIA - Norwegian Church Aid
In 1947, Norwegian churches stretched out a helping hand to the German civilian victims. This was the beginning of Norwegian Church Aid (NCA). Today we are saving lives, changing lives and fighting injustice in 32 countries. That makes us one of the largest aid organizations in the Nordic countries. Last year we reached over three million people in disaster situations, in refugee camps and in poor communities. In addition, we reach the victims of war and disaster in 130 countries through the ACT Alliance. Now we are seeking several engaged colleagues who will work with us "Together for a just world".
Norwegian Church Aid in Ethiopia is looking for a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) manager who can provide strong leadership in an emergency operation in Gambella, Ethiopia. More than 190.000 South Sudanese refugees have entered Gambella and NCA will upscale WASH activities in refugee camps.
