UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, is a UN agency established in 1950 and based in Geneva, Switzerland. Its mission is to lead international efforts to protect refugees and resolve refugee-related issues. The agency safeguards the rights and well-being of refugees, ensuring they can seek asylum, find safety, return home voluntarily, integrate locally, or resettle in a third country. UNHCR also provides assistance to stateless individuals. Operating in over 125 countries with a staff of around 7,685, UNHCR delivers essential humanitarian aid and protection. Its key services include emergency assistance such as shelter, food, and medical care for those fleeing violence and conflict. The agency also facilitates long-term solutions like voluntary repatriation and local integration, advocates for asylum rights, and supports vulnerable groups. Since its inception, UNHCR has helped approximately 50 million refugees and has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice for its efforts.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian NGO based in Norway, established in 1946 to assist refugees in post-World War II Europe. Over the years, it has evolved into a global organization providing emergency assistance, protection, and durable solutions to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in more than 40 countries affected by conflicts, disasters, and climate change. NRC specializes in six key areas: livelihoods and food security, education, shelter and settlements, information and legal assistance, protection from violence, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). The organization employs around 15,000-16,000 staff, primarily local hires, and assists approximately 9-10 million people annually. NRC collaborates with various partners, including UN agencies and local actors, to address the needs of vulnerable populations and advocate for their rights. It also maintains the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) in Geneva and operates NORCAP, a roster of experts supporting humanitarian responses in crises.
