NRC began operations in Libya in 2017 and has continued to scale up its operations in camp and
urban settings supporting Libyan IDPs, returnees and host communities, as well as vulnerable
migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. NRC is the leading humanitarian actor in the Libya
response and implements education, shelter/NFI, Information Counselling and Legal Assistance
(ICLA) and multi-purpose cash assistance activities across the country through our offices in
Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi, and Ajdabiya.

As of 2022, NRC Libya will have its Country Office (CO) based in Tunis, Tunisia with two Area
Offices inside Libya in the East and West. This position will be based in the Country Office in
Tunisia with travel to Libya where required.

As a humanitarian organisation working in a challenging operational environment, it is of great

importance to work in compliance with governmental rules and regulations, donor regulations and
contracts as well as NRC’s own policies and procedures in order for NRC to maintain its position
as a trustworthy partner for all external stakeholders and to ensure highest quality programming
reaches the intended beneficiaries.

The Risk and Compliance function plays a significant part in assessing and qualifying procedures
and systems, which include implementing risk mitigation measures and compliance checks. The
function reports directly to the Head of Support. The function is covering NRC Libya activities
(Programme and Support) with a primary focus on risk management and mitigation in line with
NRC’s internal audit methodologies.
