Anticipatory Action Coordinator - Nigeria

• The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an international humanitarian organization with operations in over 28 countries, committed to assisting, protecting, and finding solutions for refugees, internally displaced persons, and other conflict-affected communities. DRC is a pioneer in anticipatory action for displacement, specifically in fragile and conflict-affected settings, currently designing and implementing displacement forecasting and anticipatory action mechanisms across seventeen countries. As co-lead of the Global Working Group on Anticipatory Action for Displacement with IOM, DRC acts as a global convener on displacement-centric anticipatory action.
• DRC Nigeria has a longstanding presence across the northeast, northwest, and middle belt regions, delivering humanitarian protection, emergency response, and peacebuilding programming in some of the most complex displacement environments in West Africa. DRC's Nigeria programme combines protection monitoring, multipurpose cash assistance, and community-based early warning to respond to displacement driven by armed conflict, transhumance-related tensions, and resource competition.
• DRC is seeking a National Anticipatory Action Coordinator to lead the implementation of the Scaling Anticipatory Action for Displacement (SAAD) project in Nigeria. SAAD, funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York for 24 months (July 2026 to June 2028), aims to shift humanitarian crisis management from reaction to prevention by combining machine learning displacement forecasting with community-based early warning systems, protection monitoring, and conflict-sensitive anticipatory planning.
