NORCAP’s mission is to improve aid to protect and empower people affected by crises and climate change. With expertise in the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors, we collaborate with local, national and international partners on finding solutions that meet the needs of people at risk.

We do this by:

• Supporting humanitarian, development and peacebuilding initiatives that protect and empower people
• Improving impact at the global and local level through joint projects with partners and stakeholders
• Providing expertise and developing capacity that enable partners to meet the needs of people in fragile situations and crises
• Strengthening the global system that we are part of through support for leadership, coordination and policy development
• Building bridges between the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors

UNMISS is actively working to counter the growing threats posed by misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech (MDH), which undermine peace efforts and endanger lives. The mission is guided by the United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity, launched in 2024, which promote coordinated international action to make information spaces safer and more humane.
