#1Humanitarian

Norwegian Church Aid (NCA; Norwegian: Kirkens Nødhjelp) is an independent Norwegian humanitarian and ecumenical organization with headquarters in Oslo. It was traditionally affiliated with the state Church of Norway, but has over time developed into an independent organization. The organization is mandated by Norwegian churches to fight for a more just world in cooperation with people and organizations across the world to eradicate poverty and injustice.

The long-term goals of NCA is to save lives, seek justice and build resilience by working with advocacy, long-term development and humanitarian responses. Humanitarian aid to developing nations has, since NCA's inception, been the most central aspect of the organization's work. The concept of Christian compassion has been a motivating force of the organization.

The precursor to NCA was founded in October 1945, and was called the National Association of Congregational Aid (Menighetspleienes Landsforbund). The goal was to coordinate the joint social aid program of the Norwegian Church after the Second World War. Today, the organization works in over 30 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Central and Latin America. In 2018 the Norwegian Church Aid and five other key NGOs organized the customary torchlight parade in Oslo in honor of that year's Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, who were awarded the prize for their work to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
