Salāmah: responding to the crisis in Lebanon
“We continue to witness an alarming level of human costs and humanitarian consequences of conflict in Lebanon”
To help humanitarian actors deliver essential work more safely and effectively, RedR UK aimed to strengthen the operational readiness and personal security competencies of frontline responders. We provided practical, context-specific training that addressed critical needs identified through a Rapid Learning Needs Assessment.
By equipping humanitarian workers—particularly national staff and civil society actors—with tools to manage security risks, ensure team safety, and protect mental health, the project directly supported safer and more efficient delivery of aid.

Learning Needs Assessment for Lebanon Crisis response
Before conducting training, RedR conducted a Learning Needs Assessment to identify the knowledge gaps and learning needs of humanitarian responders in Lebanon.
Understanding the knowledge and skills gaps of humanitarian workers is an essential step in developing training that addresses the needs of trainees.
The assessment found that mental health and safety and security management were two of the key topics commonly raised by respondent as priority training topics essential for improving their response capabilities – leading RedR to focus on these as main subject areas for this training program in Lebanon.
The assessment also assessed the existing strengths among humanitarians, which enabled us to recommend the best ways that humanitarian partners can leverage best these capabilities.
