Based on its values and working principles, ADRA Norway works in partnerships with various stakeholders, including ADRA organizations in the South. Our main implementing partners are ADRA in Peru, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. As for emergencies, we coordinate closely with the ADRA network, and involve where the need is greatest. We use Sphere as a standard in all our emergency management work.

ADRA Norway believes in a holistic approach to development, and strives for comprehensive and coherent analysis of the local and national reality/context. We work to promote gender equality and peace and reconciliation in the areas of education, health, food security, water and sanitation and provide emergency relief when conflicts and disasters happen.

As the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate in Pakistan following heavy monsoon rains, ADRA is sending medical teams to some of the worst affected areas in the north. ADRA’s response is targeting the Khyber-Pakhtunkwa Province’s Nowshera District, an area located northwest of the capital Islamabad that has experienced some of the heaviest flooding so far. As part of the intervention, ADRA plans to mobilize medical teams of doctors, nurses, and paramedics to local school, hospitals, and community centers.
