- To Promote Livelihood Activities:
REDA aims to empower refugees with the skills, resources, and opportunities to engage in productive economic activities, such as tailoring, hairdressing, carpentry, building, shoe-making, agriculture, and small-scale trade. By supporting income-generating ventures, the agency helps refugees become self-reliant, reduce dependency on aid, and improve their standard of living.
- To Enhance Access to Quality Education and Skill Development among Refugees:
Education is a vital tool for empowerment. REDA seeks to increase access to both formal and in-formal education for refugee children, youth, and adults. This includes vocational training, literacy programs, and scholarships. The goal is to enhance knowledge, employability, and lifelong learning opportunities that prepare refugees for decent work and sustainable livelihoods.
- To Advocate for Refugee Rights and Protection:
REDA works to promote awareness and respect for the rights of refugees as outlined in international and national laws. This involves engaging in advocacy, policy dialogue, and partnerships with government institutions and humanitarian agencies to ensure refugees are protected from discrimination, exploitation, and abuse, and can access justice and essential services.
- To Promote Gender Equality and Development among Refugees
The agency prioritizes the inclusion and empowerment of women and girls by addressing gender-based violence, promoting equal participation in leadership and decision-making, and supporting women’s economic and educational advancement. REDA encourages a gender-sensitive approach to all programs to ensure fairness and equality.

Recognizing the trauma and stress many refugees face, REDA provides psychosocial support through counseling, peer support groups, and mental health awareness activities. These interventions help individuals recover from emotional distress, build resilience, and foster positive relationships within their communities.

This ensures that both refugees and host communities contribute to the conservation of natural resources and the fight against climate change.
