Norwegian Refugee Council
Unit4 Cloud enables this humanitarian organization to support more displaced people and drive more impactful programs.
The challenge
Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a humanitarian, nongovernmental organization that protects the rights of people affected by displacement. The nonprofit has about 6,500 staff and incentive workers operating across 32 countries.
Expanding into hard-to-reach geographies has been a real challenge for NRC. Also challenging has been to track funding sources across multiple complex programs and reporting periods. The Council needs to ensure continued compliance with grant restrictions and regulatory requirements, using specialized, transparent internal controls.

“The cloud redefines how we operate. Working in these conflict countries with data managed by a trusted service provider on a remote server is one less worry for us. Knowing that our Unit4 data is fully protected, available, and shared allows us to concentrate on humanitarian aid — not tech issues.”
