Your next big opportunity awaits
Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) | Lusaka
Innovating the future of tech solutions in Zambia.
ntroduction to the JCP country office:
Since 2011, Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) and DanChurchAid (DCA) in Zambia have been working together to implement a socio-economic justice programme that aims to empower rights-holders, especially women and youth through a Joint Country Programme. Through strong networks and alliances within Zambian civil society, we uphold and protect people’s dignity and promote their active participation in the development of Zambia. The JCP Zambia is a fully merged country programme where funding, technical advice, lobbying & advocacy, communication, administration is shared and coordinated, with NCA as the lead agency. In the 2025-2029 country strategy, NCA and DCA will focus their interventions to save lives, build resilience of local communities and seek justice. We envision an inclusive, resilient and just Zambia. Whilst the Climate and Environmental Stewardship (CES) programme is a new thematic priority for NCA globally, it will build on several years of experience by NCA-DCA in Zambia of working on CES in protected and vulnerable landscapes in the Lower Zambezi.

Information about the position:
The NCA-DCA JCP is looking for a proactive and experienced Senior Programme Officer to lead the implementation of our CES programme in Zambia. This programme is implemented both directly by NCA-DCA and through selected Zambian civil society partners under our 2025-29 Programme strategy for Zambia.

The aim of CES is to support local communities to:
a) prepare and respond to impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, and natural and man-made disasters.
b) sustainably manage natural resources; and
c) mobilise citizens and duty-bearers to act for climate and environmental justice.
In this role, you will be responsible for the programme quality and development of CES in NCA Zambia Country Office. You will work closely with other technical advisors in NCA’s programme areas, such as Climate Resilient WASH, Economic Development and Food Security, and Fighting Inequality, both at NCA Zambia Country Office and at NCA’s Head Office in Oslo, Norway.
