<h3>About the company</h3>The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an&nbsp;independent, humanitarian, non-profit, non-governmental organization that provides&nbsp;assistance, protection, and durable solutions&nbsp;to refugees and internally displaced persons&nbsp;worldwide.

NRC quickly became a leading shelter agency in Ethiopia and designed the government-approved transitional shelter for Dollo Ado beneficiaries. NRC is improving the living conditions of refugees in the selected camps through the provision of Shelter and Education (Youth Education Pack &amp; Alternative Basic Education) while continuing to explore other relevant core competencies in line with emerging needs for refugees.
