response, NRC will provide 400 (representing 2,000 individuals with 50% female)
vulnerable internally displaced and host community households affected by the
most recent Sudan armed conflict in Al Rahad and Al Madina (Gedaref city)
localities in Gedaref states with shelter and NFI assistance. NRC will target
internally displaced persons (IDP) households, residing both in gathering sites
and hosted within host communities. NRC proposes to provide the assistance through
unconditional cash transfers to selected vulnerable households to cover their
basic NFI and shelter needs, including repairs of shelters and/ or replenishment
of emergency household items. Each beneficiary household will receive a lt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US" style="font-size:8.0ptmso-bidi-font-size:10.0ptfont-family:"gtcash grant of USD $550 (~SDG 316,250) distribution time market

inclusive community-based targeting approach and will apply a mix of socioeconomic,
protection concern, and categorical vulnerability criteria, in addition to
displacement status. It will therefore focus on those that are considered at
risk, which includes households already engaged in negative coping strategies
(i.e., disposal of livelihood assets, separation of family, accumulating debt),
households with limited or no access to livelihood opportunities, and
households with most vulnerable and marginalized, such as female or
child-headed household, people with specific needs, elderly, etc.lt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gt

carried out through Blue Nile Mashreg Bank - a financial service provider (FSP)

mapping of FSP in Sudan, following the impact of the conflict on banks’ functionality
and is exploring multiple options for ensuring availability of cash for
transfers to beneficiaries. This includes engagements with CASHI and money
