Introduction


The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future.

We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and - whenever possible - for the fulfilment of the wish to return home.


The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956 and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers.

Based in Copenhagen (Denmark) and present in forty countries, the Danish Refugee Council is a non-profit-making, politically independent, non-governmental and non-denominational relief organization.

Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced.

All our efforts are based on our value compass:
humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.


1. Context of the position
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an established international non-governmental organization (iNGO) in the protection sector in Latin America. The organization has been present in the region since 2011, when it opened its first operation in Colombia.

Since then, DRC has developed operations in Venezuela and Mexico (2020), and implements through a local partner in Peru DRC also engages in its multi-country programme as well as the Mixed Migration Centre both uniquely focusing on the protection sector across the region, so far.


In 2023, DRC has the ambition to expand its Economic Recovery portfolio, in particular in Mexico, in response to evolving displacement trends with increased opportunities for longer-term socio-economic integration and livelihood for people in the move (Mexico).

This consultancy aims at mapping strategic positioning and related funding opportunities in light of:

  • DRC's added value in the region and as a displacement actor globally;
  • The specific barriers and opportunities facing the people of concern in meeting their basic needs, engaging in decent livelihoods, accessing financial (and other relevant) services and ultimately becoming selfreliant and resilient, and;
  • Host government's and donors' strategies visàvis people of concern in each target country.
