Become a GenCap Senior Gender Adviser

Recruitment of GenCap Senior Gender Advisers (SGAs) runs on an ongoing basis, with two dedicated calls for applications per year. 

GenCap SGAs are positioned to: 

• Serve as a catalyst for positive change in humanitarian action 
• Provide senior-level expertise and leadership on gender equality programming and the empowerment of women and girls 
• Participate in the collective effort to support humanitarian partners in upholding commitments and responding to current challenges related to gender in humanitarian action
• Deploy on short notice to a country or mission as determined by GenCap management. 

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) contractually administers the GenCap SGAs, who remain employees of NRC whilst deployed to the United Nations. Although they are not regarded as official United Nations staff members, GenCap SGAs perform their duties under the authority and in full compliance with the regulations of the hosting United Nations agency/agencies.
