AGAHE facilitated a strategic dialogue with Ms. Heidi Carrubba Humanitarian Advisor FCDO and Mr. Saeed Ul Hassan Deputy Head of Office British High Commission Punjab during their visit at AGAHE Head Office Lahore on 14 May 2026.
The meeting served as a joint sector engagement platform aimed at strengthening collaboration and strategic coherence among international NGOs, government actors, CSO networks, and development stakeholders working across humanitarian response, resilience, and sustainable development sectors in Pakistan.
The discussion focused on localization, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), anticipatory action, climate resilience, system strengthening, preparedness, and coordinated response mechanisms. The platform also enabled stakeholders to exchange operational insights, reflect on key challenges, and identify opportunities for enhanced coordination, information sharing, and locally led action.
Members of the National Humanitarian Network (NHN) Punjab including HELP Foundation, FDO, Doaba Foundation, RCDS, SYCOPE, FPAP, LPP, Mojaz, SDF, EHD also shared reflections and lessons learned from previous emergency responses, sector coordination experiences, and localization initiatives.
FCDO representatives acknowledged the important role of national and local CSOs in advancing effective, accountable, and locally led humanitarian and development programming, while emphasizing the importance of strengthened partnerships and collaborative approaches.

Attended the One-Day Training Workshop on strengthening the capacities of the District Disaster Management Authority and stakeholders.
Organized by FAO, World Food Programme, PDMA Punjab, and EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid, this session was a great learning opportunity on disaster preparedness, coordination, and emergency response.

Such initiatives are vital to improve our response during floods and other emergencies, especially in districts like Muzaffargarh and Multan.

Grateful to be part of this effort.

Easing the Burden of Water
Sukh Development Foundation, in collaboration with TAYABA Organization distributed H2O Wheels among vulnerable families.
For many women and children, collecting water meant hours of hard labor daily. One H2O Wheel carries 40 liters with ease — restoring dignity, saving time, and improving health.
This is more than a wheel. It’s relief, respect, and empowerment
