DEADLINE: 8TH OCTOBER, 2025
NORWEGIAN REFUGEE COUNCIL (NRC)
INVITATION TO BID AS AN ASSESSMENT OFFICER/DATA ANALYST CONSULTANT FOR MULTI SECTORAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT (MSNA)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been operating in Nigeria since
2015, with a presence in Borno, Adamawa, and Plateau States. NRC supports
communities affected by displacement by addressing their basic needs,
enhancing resilience to future shocks, and improving access to essential services through its six core competencies: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
(WASH), Shelter and Settlement, Education, Information, Counselling and
Legal Assistance (ICLA), Livelihoods and Food Security (LFS), and Protection
from Violence. During emergencies, NRC provides immediate assistance
through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM). With a staff of over 370 and
field offices in Maiduguri, Yola, and Jos, NRC effectively addresses the needs
of conflict-affected populations in North-East and North-Central Nigeria.
2.0 Background and rationale
Nigeria continues to face persistent violent conflicts, which have severely
impacted the economy, human rights, and peaceful co-existence. The effects
of long-standing insecurity, weak governance, climate-related shocks, and
poor service delivery have plunged millions into poverty. In Plateau State,
violence over land and natural resources—often framed along ethnic and
religious lines—has persisted for over two decades. These tensions have been
worsened by climate change, demographic pressures, and institutional gaps.
Herder-farmer conflicts, especially between Fulani herders and indigenous
farming groups, have led to mass displacement, loss of life, and destruction of
assets.
In early 2024, violence in Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, and Mangu LGAs displaced
over 2,000 individuals. IOM recorded over 15,000 people displaced into IDP
camps and host communities across both Plateau and Bauchi States. Reports
confirmed significant food, health, shelter, WASH, and psychosocial support
needs. This MSNA aims to provide updated and comprehensive data across
key sectors for Plateau’s programming and resource planning. It will guide
PLASEMA (Plateau State Emergency Management Agency) and partners in
evidence-based decision-making and targeted humanitarian response.
All qualified and interested consultants/firms should submit both technical and
