The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is reinforcing its presence in North-East Ukraine and establishes an Area Office based in Kyiv Kharkiv. The Area Office North-East (AONE) will become a new area office, scaled up from the current Kharkiv Field Office, and will start being operational in the first half of 2026. 
AONE will cover regions of Kharkiv and Sumy where current Field Office (FO) in Shostka will, in first half of 2026, structurally move to be under new Kharkiv AONE.
The key sectors of intervention covered by the North-East area office will include Shelter, Information Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Protection from Violence, Education, Livelihoods & Food Security and emergency response through cash assistance.

The role of the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Coordinator is to support the establishment and implementation of systems to promote evidence-based decision-making, programme and project performance, and internal management across the North-East office and sub-office. The MEL Coordinator will contribute to quality programming through supporting access to and promoting use of relevant and timely information (both on the output and outcome levels) on programme scale, relevance, and effectiveness. Within this context, the MEL Coordinator will provide technical support to area office staff pertaining to MEL and build capacity to apply effective, cost-efficient and contextualised MEL systems in adherence to NRC global MEL policies and framework.
