CRDP works in the 4 most Chernobyl-affected oblasts (provinces) in Ukraine, namely the Kiev, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv and Rivne Oblasts. 
The United Nations Development Programme has launched in 2003 a specific project called the Chernobyl Recovery and Development Programme (CRDP) for the recovery of the affected areas. The programme was initiated in February 2002 based on the recommendations in the report on Human Consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident. The main goal of the CRDP's activities is supporting the Government of Ukraine in mitigating long-term social, economic, and ecological consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe. CRDP works in the four most Chernobyl-affected areas in Ukraine: Kyivska, Zhytomyrska, Chernihivska and Rivnenska.
As founder and chief executive of the Chernobyl Children International (1991), Adi Roche has worked since 1990 to provide aid to the children of Belarus, Western Russia and Ukraine. Under Roche's leadership, Chernobyl Children International (CCI) has delivered over €92 million to the areas most affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and has brought over 22,500 children into Ireland on Rest & Recuperation. The organisation is an international development, medical, and humanitarian one that works with children and families who continue to be affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986. Having been actively involved in the Chernobyl issue since the explosion in 1986, she organised and coordinated the first visit of Chernobyl children to Ireland on receipt of a plea from Belarus and continues to do so under the Rest and Recuperation Programme to this day. To date the programme has enabled over 22,000 children affected by the Chernobyl disaster to come to Ireland for vital medical treatment and recuperation, with terminally ill children attending Paul Newman's therapeutic recreation centre at Barretstown in Co Kildare. 
 nuclear reactor disaster. On April 26, 1986, Reactor #4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the town of Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded. The explosion took place at 1:23am while the neighboring town of Pripyat slept. Two workers were killed instantly. 40 hours later, the residents of Pripyat were ordered to evacuate, and most never returned; by that time, many of the residents had suffered varying degrees of radiation poisoning. In 2003, the United Nations Development Programme launched a project called the Chernobyl Recovery and Development Programme (CRDP) for the recovery of the affected areas. The program launched its activities based on the Human Consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident report recommendations and was initiated in February 2002. The main goal of the CRDP's activities is supporting the Government of Ukraine to mitigate long-term social, economic and ecological consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe, among others. CRDP works in the four most Chernobyl-affected areas in Ukraine: Kiev Oblast, Zhytomyrska Oblast, partially Kiev, Chernihivska Oblast and Rivne Oblast. 
Aughrim is the base for the charitable organisation Sunflowers Chernobyl Appeal which carry out voluntary work in areas in Belarus affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
