Dr. Noorullah Kuchai

RedR UK’s Senior Programmes Coordinator, Dr. Noorullah Kuchai, spoke about RedR’s impact and mission at our recent Annual Reception. Focusing on RedR’s work in Ukraine, Dr. Kuchai shared moving examples of how we are equipping local responders with the tools and knowledge to lead recovery efforts on their own terms. His remarks highlighted the urgent need for locally led responses and the importance of shifting power to those closest to the crisis Read his full speech below.

The world is facing an era of compounding crises. The demand for humanitarian assistance is escalating, while resources are shrinking. In this landscape, the effectiveness of the response is not just important – it is vital. And this is where RedR’s work truly matters. Tonight, I’d like to share with you two specific examples of how we put our mission into action through our response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. 

Nearly 3 years ago, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine leading to a devastating impact on Ukrainians causing massive civilian casualties and the destruction of infrastructure. Resulting in millions being in need of humanitarian assistance – including more than 2 million children. 

Within just two months, RedR responded by designing and delivering 27 training sessions to 360 humanitarian responders. We then continued to expand our reach, ultimately training more than 6,000 Ukrainians. These were individuals supporting communities under extraordinary pressure. 

Our trainings equipped them with tools & skills to respond more effectively, covering topics such as humanitarian principles, blast-induced damage assessment, repair methods, retrofitting technologies and more. 

We trained local people, so the knowledge stays there.  

We hired and mentored local Ukrainian trainers. We delivered trainings and produced resources in Ukrainian. And we rooted the training contents in the reality of the situation in Ukraine, drawing on local case studies and Ukrainian building standards to make our trainings relevant and immediately applicable in the field. And this local capacity strengthening is hugely important. 

Recently the Mayor of Mykolaiv has communicated with us that “capacity strengthening” is one of their key needs. We have grouped up with our industry engineering partners in the UK and the Engineering Without Borders to train local professionals to support the safe return of displaced communities. 

In response to the acute shortage of qualified experts – damage assessors – we will train Ukrainian engineers and university lecturers. These lecturers will then train future generation engineers, thereby enhancing long-term in-country capacity. 

In one example shared by Engineers Without Borders, 750 children were not able to go to school because there was not enough capacity to determine whether their school building, which had been partially damaged by a missile strike, was safe to use or not. So, its not only the immediate impact of the destruction being caused, but the longer-term impact on the entire community which is also affected. In this way, our training on damage assessment unlock the capacity of more professionals to carry out “safe-building entry checks”, and in this case, hopefully to get those 750 children back into school. 

This initiative addresses critical societal challenges caused by war, including widespread displacement and infrastructure damage that compromise safety, health, and dignity. By equipping engineers and educators with essential skills, the project supports recovery efforts and promotes the reconstruction of built infrastructure. 

Our training strengthen the quality of the humanitarian response. It enhances local ownership. And ultimately, it saves lives. 

And crucially, we could not have done any of this alone. 

The speed and scale of our Ukraine response—and our ongoing work in conflict and climate-affected areas—has been driven by RedR’s core mission: uniting diverse expertise across humanitarian and private sectors to empower and train local responders for more effective, locally led humanitarian action in an increasingly complex world. 

That is why this work matters. And that is why your continued support matters.

Bernadette Sexton

To mark RedR’s 45th anniversary, CEO Bernadette Sexton delivered a speech at our recent Annual Reception, reflecting on the organisation’s evolution and continued relevance in today’s humanitarian landscape. She addressed the growing global need for assistance, the challenges posed by shrinking funding, and the vital role of RedR’s locally led approach and partnerships in delivering lasting impact. Read the full speech below.

When we developed the strategy last year, we engaged with many stakeholders to determine how best we could deliver our mission: to develop the capacity of aid workers and organisations to respond to humanitarian needs and mitigate the impact of crises on the most vulnerable people.

Our mission remains sadly relevant because the demand for humanitarian assistance has never been higher. 1 in 22 people worldwide require humanitarian assistance.

This need is informed by escalating natural disasters, protracted conflicts, and deepening social inequities. At the same time, we are observing extreme weather events, with 2024 being the hottest year on record. So, the need has never been greater.

In this context, RedR’s impact is clear: we strengthen local responders to improve delivery, reduce waste, and contribute to a more effective humanitarian system.

That was in 2024. Since then, at the start of 2025, there have been significant cuts to humanitarian funding globally. This presents an existential challenge for the humanitarian sector as the sector considers how to fundamentally rethink how we create global impact.

In this landscape, RedR’s locally led approach has become even more acutely necessary.

Through our training and technical assistance, we gain localised insight regarding the immediate challenges being faced in disaster situations, allowing us to inform improvements through convening and sharing at the sectoral level.

That’s where our partnerships come to the fore. Whilst we are a small core team, our reach is wide.

We hosted our strategy launch at the offices of Arup, one of our longstanding partners. It’s just one visual example of how we engage within an ecosystem of partners where values align and where we benefit from synergies.

Those partnerships allow us to extend and amplify our impact.

What does this look like in practice? It includes:

1. Developing standards for camp management to support the flow of refugees and internally displaced populations in Nigeria and Ukraine
2. Designing resources to support responders to conflict related sexual violence in several languages including Burmese, French, Ukrainian, and English
3. Building climate resilience in drought and conflict vulnerable contexts in Somalia and Afghanistan
4. Training local NGOs delivering nutrition in emergencies in Mali to address extreme hunger
5. Delivering engineering in emergencies services in response to earthquakes and floods in Morocco, Libya, Turkey and Syria
6. Supporting global commitments to provide clean water, and improved sanitation and hygiene systems through the WASH roadmap.
7. Conducting blast damage assessments to allow safe return to homes; and supporting reform and repair of the water utilities in Ukraine.

RedR’s work is only possible through this ecosystem.

We have relied on your training and technical expertise that allows us to deliver our work to a high standard.

We have tapped into your networks that have connected us to key stakeholders to ensure a contextualised approach that builds on best practice.

We have benefited from your funding as individuals, as trusts and foundations, and as companies that has allowed us to deliver this work.

This year marks the 45^th anniversary of RedR. Our founder Peter Guthrie remains an enthusiastic supporter.  Anytime, I meet up with Peter, I come away from that discussion with a renewed sense of urgency from one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met and a sense of how RedR has evolved to continue to be relevant and make a difference.

RedR was established in 1980. Since 1988 Her Royal Highness has been our President and has remained steadfast in her support of RedR, and has displayed an active interest in our work.

What we see in our work in crisis-affected areas – is that investing in people, knowledge and skills creates a ripple effect that has long lasting impact.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

RedR UK Celebrates Achievements and Launches Strategy with Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal

On Wednesday 7^th May 2025, humanitarian NGO RedR held its Annual Reception, hosted by its long-standing partner Arup, at its Charlotte Street offices. The event brought together RedR’s diverse community of staff, partners, and supporters from across engineering and humanitarian sectors to celebrate the organisation’s achievements and reaffirm its continued commitment to driving impact through its strategic priorities amidst emerging global challenges.

RedR’s President, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, was in attendance and emphasised the importance of working with local responders to strengthen existing humanitarian capacities.

Over the course of the evening, attendees had the opportunity to network and listen to inspiring speeches from RedR’s CEO Bernadette Sexton, RedR’s Senior Technical Programmes Coordinator Dr. Noorullah Kuchai, and Her Royal Highness, who has been President of RedR since 1988. Their remarks echoed the organisation’s strategic direction, prioritising localisation, climate resilience, and strengthening the skills of those on the frontlines of crisis response.

The evening also marked the launch of RedR’s 2025-2027 Strategy, which builds on the organisation’s roots in humanitarian engineering, and reinforces its broader commitment to strengthening local and international response capacity through training programmes, technical assistance, and convening.

This strategy comes at a vital time, as the humanitarian sector faces unprecedented funding shortfalls amid rising global need and instability. RedR’s work to equip local responders with the skills and support they need is more critical than ever. By strengthening local leadership and knowledge, RedR helps make humanitarian response more sustainable, efficient, and equitable.

Bernadette Sexton, CEO of RedR said: “At a time when humanitarian funding cannot match the unprecedented demand, efficiency is crucial. Learning and development transforms the ability of humanitarians to efficiently deliver lifesaving aid to those that need it most. This is at the heart of RedR’s strategy to equip local agencies and communities with the knowledge and skills to prepare, respond and rebuild in the face of disasters.”

In a country facing severe climate challenges, one organisation is making remarkable progress in building community resilience. This case study highlights how RedR’s ‘Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction’ (CCADRR) training has transformed the work of Abdulhadi Achakzai and his NGO, leading to innovative early warning systems and improved disaster preparedness across rural Afghanistan, and participation at COP29 in Baku. 

Abdulhadi Achakzai is the Founder and CEO of the Environmental Protection Trainings and Development Organization (EPTDO), a climate change-focused NGO operating in Afghanistan. EPTDO is committed to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development across Afghanistan. To tackle these goals, EPTDO works to build resilient communities and ecosystems by focusing on climate adaptation, livelihood and agricultural development, and gender equality and inclusion.

EPTDO has over 1500 volunteers including 680 women that lead climate-centred workshops throughout the country, raising awareness about the impact of climate change in Afghanistan and the importance of mitigation measures.  

The transformative impact of RedR’s training 

Abdulhadi undertook the RedR 7-week CCADRR training between September and November 2024. This specialist course had a positive impact on how EPTDO approaches disaster preparedness and climate adaptation.

What made the course particularly valuable were the practical sessions where Abdulhadi gained critical technical expertise and tools that have directly transformed EPTDO’s programming. The impact was immediate and lasting as he confirms “I use the technologies, methodologies and skills I learned every day” 

From training to action: RedR’s methods in practice 

The CCADRR Afghanistan course introduced Abdulhadi to crucial methodologies, allowing EPTDO to better identify and manage disaster risks, ensuring interventions are more targeted and effective, especially for marginalised, rural communities in Afghanistan. 

One such technique Abdulhadi learned during the course was the use of early warning systems, which he went on to implement in practice. After completing the course, Abdulhadi and his team installed early warning systems in schools and mosques in rural communities of Afghanistan, ensuring they receive timely disaster alerts despite infrastructure and literacy challenges: 

• In schools: following course guidance on community engagement, EPTDO has worked with teachers to educate students on disaster preparedness strategies, including how to identify safe shelters during extreme weather events. Teachers play a key role in reinforcing this knowledge, ensuring students understand how to respond effectively to hazards. 

• In mosques: Using the communication strategies emphasised in the RedR training, loudspeakers are now used to broadcast critical alerts. Abdulhadi explains that EPTDO now “provide information to village elders to announce and disseminate information during any incidents”.  This ensures that even those without direct access to mobile networks or internet services receive timely warnings. 

Through integrating teachers and religious leader into the information network – a participatory approach strongly advocated in the CCADRR course – these systems enable rapid dissemination of warnings about heavy rain, flash floods and extreme temperatures. 

Creating a lasting legacy 

Another valuable outcome of the RedR training for Abdulhadi was the creation of a wider network of professionals in Afghanistan dedicated to climate resilience. The collaborative nature of the course provided participants opportunities to exchange best practices and learn from the experiences of others in the sector. This community of practice continues to exist beyond the course, with many of the participants remaining in touch and working together on relevant projects—extending the impact of RedR’s training far beyond the initial participants. 

From local implementation to global advocacy 

Following the completion of the CCADRR training, Abdulhadi represented Afghanistan at COP29 in Baku where he moderated a panel on “Breaking the Cycle of Vulnerability: Climate Action and Financing for Afghanistan’s future.” He has also chaired a national climate crisis research conference, and participated in panels where he raised awareness and advocated for global climate action to address the challenges that Afghanistan faces due to climate change.

These important accomplishments underscore the CCADRR programme’s role in supporting leaders already at the forefront of local climate response.

A foundation for change: measurable impacts of RedR’s CCADRR training 

Through the work Abdulhadi has undertaken with EPTDO, a direct impact of RedR’s CCADRR training can be seen on climate resilience efforts in Afghanistan. 

Through implementing early warning systems in schools and mosques, strengthening risk mapping efforts, and providing targeted climate education – all methodologies central to the course – Abdulhadi and EPTDO have taken key learnings from the training to improve community preparedness to disasters. 

These initiatives, directly informed by RedR’s capacity building approach, are empowering local communities to take proactive measures against climate risks, ensuring faster response times, better information dissemination, and stronger climate resilience efforts in Afghanistan. RedR’s training has proven to not just be informational but transformative for climate action in one of the world’s most vulnerable countries.

About the Project

We’ve adapted our existing Climate Change Adaption and Disaster Risk Reduction project to support locally-led drought resilience in Afghanistan and Somalia. Funded by the Howden Foundation, we’re providing free online certified training for local climate responders in drought-affected rural areas.

George’s experience with the Anticipatory Action course has given him the skills to advocate for government financing on climate adaptation and establish community integration through joint disaster risk reduction activities.

George Oryongatum is a Disaster Risk Reduction and Environmental Officer working in south western Uganda, where extreme weather events caused by climate change pose a threat to food supply and increase the risk of hunger and poverty. He spoke with us about how completing RedR’s Anticipatory Action module has shaped his work.

George’s Climate Change Pathway

George works to uplift climate awareness whilst promoting community integration and resilience in refugee settlements in south western Uganda. Through RedR’s Anticipatory Action training, George has become better at identifying disasters in the community and planning for responses using locally-available resources. He is also more aware about the mitigation measures that disasters need, and includes this in his advocacy.

Mainstreaming Climate Awareness

Previously, it was general practice for local government project planning to not pay attention to environmental components. Following RedR’s training, George now participates in different local government projects and champions the integration of climate considerations into planning phases.

His advocacy work around disaster risk financing has influenced local governments in two districts to prioritise climate adaptation projects in all departments, achieving an increase of 150% in annual budgets for natural resources and the environment. The most valuable insight was the importance of proactive intervention, rather than reactive emergency responses.

Promoting Community Integration

The Kyegegwa and Isingiro districts in south western Uganda have seen a sudden upsurge in refugee populations, resulting in increased pressure on the environment and conflict between refugee and host communities over environmental protection and use of resources.

Using skills gained from the training, George has successfully facilitated the integration of refugee and host communities through joint disaster risk reduction actions to counteract climate issues. These include the establishment of local environment committees, promoting waste recycling at institutions and households, constructing 814 energy-saving cooking stoves, planting over 56 hectares of trees, and delivering capacity-building initiatives on natural resources conflict resolutions among refugees and host communities.

Going forward, George plans to scale up existing interventions whilst also introducing components around nutrition, climate-smart agriculture and agroforestry.

Casimir’s experience with the Anticipatory Action course has enabled him to take on a “more proactive and effective approach” to his disaster risk reduction work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Casimir Djoko Kamdem works as the National Coordinator for Humantarian Action for Africa (HAA), a signatory of the Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian Organisations. His work focuses on the South Kivu and Maniema provinces in the DRC, which are increasingly vulnerable to flooding and landslides that can cause loss of life and infrastructure damage. He spoke with us about his achievements since he completed the RedR UK Anticipatory Action course.

Casimir’s Climate Change Pathway

“I didn’t have a strong background in Anticipatory Action before, but through my work with Humanitarian Action for Africa, a signatory of the Climate and Environment Charter, I saw the need to transform disaster responses in South Kivu and Maniema provinces. RedR’s training was a significant learning opportunity to understand how to analyse disaster risk reduction.

The most valuable insight was the importance of proactive intervention, rather than reactive emergency responses.

After completing the training, I have implemented anticipatory action strategies, including early warning systems, local contingency plans, and community awareness campaigns in South Kivu and Maniema. The most powerful moment was when floods hit the community. We were able to move lots of families into makeshift shelters. After using early-warning systems and gaining the trust of the authorities, we helped a high-risk community in advance.

We also reinforced infrastructure, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of households impacted by the floods. Communities now receive early warnings about flooding and landslides, making them better prepared.”

Looking Ahead

“I have enjoyed teaching others in my office on Anticipatory Action and hope to do so with others. I am proud to be contributing to a more proactive and effective approach to disaster management in the DRC, thanks to the valuable knowledge gained through RedR UK’s training.”
