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.

 Project Background:

The project, "Technical Support and Analysis of Climate Change Vulnerability and Resilience Among Women in the Western Region (CLIMWOM)", aims to address the challenges faced by women in Herat, Farah, Ghor, and Badghis resulting from climate change. Through a comprehensive assessment, the project seeks to identify the specific impacts and vulnerabilities experienced by women in the region.

The findings will inform the design and implementation of targeted interventions that empower women and enable their active participation in climate change adaptation efforts. Key focus areas include agriculture, water scarcity, health risks, economic aspects, and natural resource management, with an emphasis on engaging women in decision-making forums.

Empowering women to actively engage in climate change adaptation will not only enhance their well-being and livelihoods but also foster sustainable development and resilience in the Western Region. This project is implemented by REHA and supported by UN Women.

This project will be implemented in the Western Region of Afghanistan, specifically targeting Herat, Farah, Ghor, and Badghis provinces. The Field Officer will frequently travel to these areas to directly supervise and monitor project activities on the ground.
