The office now includes essential furniture, a desktop with internet access, and lockable cabinets that provide a professional environment and safeguard important documents. The cool, comfortable space offers a productive setting in contrast to the harsh external conditions, enabling the team to work effectively.
This support has positioned Halgan ahead of other Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) in the area, allowing them to undertake key initiatives in IFO. Their main activities focus on raising awareness about Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) prevention, promoting peacebuilding and conflict management, and providing mentorship programs.
Through their partnership with DRC and ECHO, Halgan also benefited from capacity-building in human resources, finance, and supply chain management. These improvements led to a 2023 assessment by UNHCR, which awarded them a six-month grant to implement a project supporting girls, including the recruitment of six mentors. The skills and knowledge gained have strengthened their internal systems, enhanced their procurement processes, and helped them develop a comprehensive HR manual. ECHO funding also allowed the recruitment of two additional staff members.
Despite these achievements, Halgan remains eager to participate in further exchange programs and cross-learning opportunities to continue building on their successes and enhance their practical skills.
