United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

Non- governmental Organization

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a global organization founded in 1950 with the mission to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees, displaced persons, and stateless individuals, ensuring they receive protection, assistance, and a path to durable solutions. Widely regarded for its humanitarian leadership, UNHCR has earned international recognition for its tireless efforts in responding to crises, advocating for refugee rights, and promoting solutions for displacement through resettlement, repatriation, and local integration.

Operating in over 130 countries, the organization fosters a diverse and inclusive work culture that prioritizes innovation, collaboration, and professional development, offering employees opportunities for impactful careers in a flexible work environment with both field-based and remote work arrangements. UNHCR has evolved over the years to adapt to the growing challenges of forced migration, integrating cutting-edge technologies and community-centered approaches into its operations.

With a vast operational reach, the organization is a global leader in crisis management, addressing complex issues like conflict, climate change, and human rights violations. UNHCR's core values of integrity, professionalism, respect for diversity, and accountability guide its work, with a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility reflected in its advocacy for climate justice, gender equality, and the protection of vulnerable populations.
