Norwegian Church Aid

Norwegian Church Aid works with people and organisations around the world in their struggle to eradicate poverty and injustice. We help those whose needs are greatest, regardless of ethnicity, creed, political or religious affiliation.

We provide emergency assistance in disasters, work for long-term development in local communities and address the root causes of poverty, we advocate for just decisions by public authorities, business and religious leaders.

Norwegian Church Aid is an ecumenical diaconal organisation for global justice. We work to help the poorest and those in need, regardless of their creed, race, political or religious affiliation.

Norwegian Church Aid is certified against the CHS for its humanitarian, development and advocacy mandates since 2017.


Sarah and Kjell from NCA accepted an interview with us.

"Recertification was a good experience that informed and involved communities in a transparent way, actively engaging them in the decision-making process. The same can be said for our partners in development programmes (...) who participated in the audit interview, learning and understanding what the process was about and appreciating being part of it.

This transparency level is something that not all organisations can provide, and that enhances the partnership aspect of our work on the ground."
