REDR AND THE WORK WE DO

We’re a global humanitarian capacity-building NGO providing training, consultancy services and expertise to national and international NGOs working in disaster-prone countries. We work around the world, delivering capacity building programmes that are practical, up-to-date and delivered by experienced humanitarians. We train thousands of aid workers each year in everything from managing people and projects in emergencies, to personal and organisational security, from providing essential water and sanitation, to community-based disaster preparedness and more.

We focus on building the capacity of national and community organisations in countries affected by floods, earthquakes, conflict and drought. We also work in partnership with NGOs, governments and academic institutions to improve the effectiveness of humanitarian action and to build the technical capacity of the sector in response to urban emergencies.

In the Middle East, RedR has facilitated capacity building activities in Jordan, Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey. These have all been coordinated from the Regional Office in Amman. In 2014-15 RedR provided face to face trainings to over 700 aid workers across these countries, the majority of whom are from the region. These activities were facilitated in both Arabic and English, depending on the language needs of the participants. Recent activities in Jordan have covered Safety and
Security, Proposal Writing, WASH for urban settings and Humanitarian Leadership.

In addition, RedR is currently implementing a DFID-funded three year programme in collaboration
with Oxfam to develop core humanitarian and management leadership skills for national staff
implementing humanitarian programmes in the Middle East. The programme involves a 6-9 month
intervention with each participant in order to develop and sustain essential skills. To date, 85 staff
have been engaged in the programme. This number will rise to 185 by the end of the programme in
October 2017. A similar programme aimed at developing core project management skills for the
staff of UNDP partner organisations in Iraq also began in mid-2016.
