The Communication/PI Associate is based at the UNHCR Regional Representation for Northern Europe (RRNE), covering the eight countries Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden.

RRNE pursues to maintain and increase the asylum space, obtain more financial and political support for UNHCR 's global/regional activities, increase UNHCR's branding and visibility in the region and to improve UNHCR's outreach through strategic partnerships. Media is one the UNHCR's key partners in raising awareness and for advocacy, therefore RRNE 's objective is to consolidate existing and to create new relationships with main media outlets and key journalists to improve UNHCR 's outreach and visibility in the region.
