Project Assistant

Resilience, Environment, and Humanitarian Aid (REHA) is a national NGO registered with the Afghan Ministry of Economy, specializing in environmental protection, climate change, disaster risk reduction, and cross-cutting areas such as agriculture, livelihood support, and humanitarian assistance. REHA employs a balanced approach, combining “hard” interventions (e.g., infrastructure, resource management) with “soft” interventions (e.g., capacity building, advocacy) to address the needs of communities affected by climate and humanitarian crises.

REHA’s unique strengths include designing and implementing advocacy campaigns, conducting capacity-building training, performing risk and vulnerability assessments, developing policies, and raising awareness. These efforts are complemented by physical interventions and community empowerment and development initiatives aimed at building resilience against natural and man-made disasters, emergencies, and climate change impacts.

With over 19 years of expertise, REHA’s team excels in climate change governance, disaster risk management, and environmental protection, supported by strong capabilities in program management, organizational strengthening, and financial and operational oversight.

About the Project:

Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to natural and climate-induced disasters, including floods, droughts, earthquakes, and extreme weather events. These risks are further compounded by limited institutional capacity, weak coordination mechanisms, and low levels of community preparedness, all of which contribute to increased vulnerability and disaster impact.

To address these challenges, REHA, in partnership with IOM, is implementing a 10-month project in Kabul, Balkh, and Kandahar. The project adopts a Training of Trainers (ToT) approach to strengthen the capacity of master trainers and community volunteers, complemented by 6 advocacy workshops, 6 training sessions, and stakeholder assessments aimed at enhancing coordination, strengthening evidence-based planning, building technical capacity, and promoting effective disaster risk reduction efforts.
