The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an international non-governmental organization of Norwegian origin, present in more than 25 countries worldwide.

Through its Shelter and Infrastructure interventions, NRC works to improve the living conditions of displaced persons, returnees, and vulnerable host communities.

Interventions include the construction and rehabilitation of shelters (emergency, transitional, or locally improved), the construction and renovation of classrooms and community infrastructure, and the distribution of essential household items.
