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 and is also based in Juba. Emergency preparedness and assistance, 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 People's Aid (NPA) started working in South-Sudan in 1986, with humanitarian assistance projects and focus on food security and health. Today, NPA has five main areas of intervention, including humanitarian mine action-programmes, food security and community development, emergency aid, health care and gender related issues. The organisation also focuses on building capacity with regard to jurisdiction, media and freedom of speech - in addition to local governance and participation.
Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has its country office in Juba. Since 2004, the organisation has adopted a “one-country approach” to Sudan, and aims to promote and protect the rights of IDPS, refugees and returnees, and to facilitate voluntary return within Sudan. NRC is currently implementing projects on information, counselling and legal assistance to IDPs, and contributes to education and protection of children, school rehabilitation and construction, camp management, distribution of food and emergency aid.
