Norwegian NGOs

Last updated: 10/11/2011 // Norwegian humanitarian engagement with Sudan dates back to the 1960's, when several NGOs started humanitarian work in the area.

Norwegian Church Aid (NCA)  has been in the country since 1967. During the civil war the organisation worked in both Government- and SPLM-controlled areas. Today, NCA has its country office in Khartoum. Emergency preparedness and assistance, access to water and long-term development assistance and advocacy are the main areas for this organisation. NCA has a wide-reaching collaboration with local church networks, and works closely with other aid organisations within the UN Work Plan for Sudan. From 2003, NCA has also been involved with emergency aid in the Darfur region.

Norwegian Red Cross is cooperating closely with Sudan Red Crescent in capacity building efforts, organisational activities and humanitarian assistance.

The Strømme Foundation is in the process of establishing itself in microfinance in Sudan.
