Master Trainer

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:

REHA (Resilience, Environment and Humanitarian Aid) is implementing a ten-month technical assistance initiative to strengthen the institutional and operational capacity of the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA).

The project follows a two-tier Training of Trainers (ToT) model. A standardized curriculum and training materials have been developed, and initial ToT sessions have been conducted in Kabul and Balkh. Master Trainers will support the delivery of ToT sessions for ANDMA-supported volunteer groups in the remaining targeted provinces, including Kandahar, Nangarhar, and Faryab. The trained volunteer groups will then support ANDMA in delivering community-level disaster preparedness training.

The Master Trainer will deliver practical, standardized, and context-specific disaster preparedness training and contribute to strengthening local response capacities.

The objective of this assignment is to engage four qualified Master Trainers who will, after receiving advanced training, deliver standardized, practical, and context-specific disaster preparedness training to ANDMA-supported volunteer groups, ensuring effective knowledge transfer and strengthening local response capacities.
