Provision of integrated Primary Health Care for IDPs, Refugees and host communities in El Salam Locality, South Darfur This proposed one-year project will support preventive and curative health interventions to contribute to reducing disease morbidity and mortality and strengthen resilience among the IDPs, host communities, and returnees in El Salam Locality, South Darfur state. This program will be implemented amidst the global COVID 19 pandemic, with over 5000 cases reported in Sudan on June 14, 2020, and the first cases already recorded in Darfur states. While there are projects and components in our program portfolio dealing directly with this emergency, ARC is well aware of the enormity of the challenge and its protracted nature and will gear its interventions towards prevention, response, and dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic, in conjunction with our routine primary health care interventions. ARC will focus on increasing the availability of, and access to life-saving primary health care services and increasing availability and access to maternal and child health services, strengthening the emergency preparedness and response mechanisms, and providing quality primary health care services.

The proposed health component will be implemented in five health facilities: Abu Shalalah, Barakatoli, Bulbul Abujazo, Bulbul Dalalangra, and El Safia, all in El Salam Locality. ARC will provide basic primary health services, including management of communicable and non- communicable diseases maternal and child health reproductive health including the management of STIs HIV/AIDs clinical management of rape and gender-based violence and immunization as well as health promotion. ARC will continue supporting the Basic Emergency Obstetric Neonatal Care (BEmONC) site in El Safia PHCC. Through ARC’s well-structured Health Information System (HIS), morbidity and mortality data will be collated and submitted to key partners including SMoH, UNICEF, WHO, and WFP. In each facility, ARC has introduced digital IMCI software to provide quality consultation and treatment services with reliable results. Using this data, ARC will be able to target areas with a high incidence of diarrheal diseases with health promotion activities carried out by health promotion volunteer teams. The importance of this intervention cannot be overestimated at the time of the COVID-19 outbreak when reliable health education and promotion are paramount to controlling community transmission of infectious diseases including COVID-19.

The project targets IDPs, refugees and host communities in El Salam Locality, South Darfur. Through this project we expect to reach an estimated 99,435 people directly.  Communities surrounding the PHCCs will also indirectly benefit from this project in terms of improved health and well-being. An estimated 116,708 live in El Salam Locality.
Food Security and Livelihoods Support for Vulnerable Population in Leri Locality, South Kordofan State This is a one-year food security and livelihood project that will be implemented in Leri Locality, South Kordofan state with a total fund budget of 353, 403 USD. The overall objective of this project is to strengthen the resilience of 1,500 households (7,500 vulnerable individuals) as direct project beneficiaries (and an additional 10,000 indirect project beneficiaries) to reduce negative coping strategies and improve food security through targeted cash transfer assistance, and support to vegetable production. The breakdown of the category and number of beneficiaries is given in the table below:

Type of beneficiary	Men 	Women	Boys	Girls	Total
Direct	1,750	2,375	1,600	1,775	7,500
Indirect	2,375	3,125	2,160	2,340	10,000
Total	4,125	5,500	3,760	4,115	17,500

The project will support the most vulnerable households consisting of refugees, host community households, new IDPs, and returnees to strengthen their resilience to livelihoods and improve their nutritional status. 
The project has two outcomes 1) enhanced capacity of 1,500 targeted households (7,500 individuals) to meet their basic needs through a cash transfer programme. Under this outcome, the project will provide a Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) to enable the targeted households meet their basic needs. The project is closely linked with a separate nutrition project funded by SHF in the same locality and the beneficiaries this project are those with malnourished children. The project will provide a multi-purpose cash transfer of 114 USD each to 1,500 households that will be paid in four equal installments. The MPCA will enable the households meet their basic needs, preserve some of their productive assets and reduce negative coping strategies.
2) The second outcome of the project is increased production and consumption of diverse and nutritious vegetable for targeted 520 households (2,600 individuals).  The project will support 520 households with materials, inputs and technical know-how to produce vegetable in sacks, mainly targeting households with malnourished children. The sack gardening intervention is appropriate due to low labor and material inputs and the lack of access to land by some of the beneficiaries, especially the IDPs and refugees. 
In addition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the threat of desert locust infestation, the project will carry out awareness raising and information sharing activities in the targeted areas of the locality. It is expected that increased knowledge will enable the communities in the targeted areas to take necessary measures to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection and provide information to the government in case of desert locust infestation.  Due to the current COVID-19 situation, all activities designed according to COVID-19 sensitive programming (e.g. considering social distancing during distribution of inputs, and awareness raising etc.)
Concern will implement the project in partnership with the national partner, SAWA Sudan that will be responsible for the agriculture component of the project.
Emergency multipurpose cash/voucher assistance for Ethiopian refugees in Um Rakuba camp This action will provide blanket multipurpose cash (or voucher) assistance to at least 15,000 Ethiopian refugees in the Um Rakuba camp, to help refugees meet their (diverse) basic needs, reduce risks of resorting to negative or harmful coping strategies, offer them choice and dignity, and to strengthen local economies. 

As of 11 Dec, 50,045 people have fled from the Tigray region of Ethiopia, seeking refuge in Sudan.  14,898 of them have been settled temporarily in the Um Rakuba refugee camp.  NRC is responding with multipurpose cash assistance and Education in Emergencies services, and is currently helping accelerate the emergency shelter response efforts.  This action will be a continuation (and development) of the initial multipurpose cash assistance.
Strengthening Desert Locust Surveillance and Control Operations to Prevent and Mitigating the Impact of outbreaks on Food Security and Rural Livelihoods in Sudan. The Desert Locust (DL) situation has developed significantly and markedly since the end of last year 2019 until the reporting period at the mid-February 2020. This situation occurred as a result of the invasion of a number of DL swarms from neighboring countries across the southern border of the Red Sea state. Consequently this DL swarms invasion led to threaten crops in winter breeding areas, where at least 14 swarms reached the country. The rainfall in the Red Sea coast helped drastically to improve the ecological conditions that interpreted in the suitability for DL breeding and development resulted in formation of mature and immature DL groups in addition to patches and groups of hopper bands distributed all over different sectors of the Red Sea coast (North, South, Central as well as the Toker Delta). 

The main threat to crops and pastures loss is that, there is a risk that internal locust breeding increased because of favorable ecological conditions as well as locust invasion from cross borders.

The overall goal of the project is to safeguard the food security and livelihoods of population affected by Desert Locust infestation in the current winter campaign along the Red Sea coast and the coming Desert Locust summer season in Kassala, Gedaref, River Nile, Northern and North Kordofan states. 

The project will strengthen the Desert Locust control operations and support the Locust Control Department (LCD) to enable all survey and control teams to stay vigilant and to intensify efforts and to continue close surveys and monitoring all breeding areas, and to immediately interfere with control measures for any incoming swarms. Unless sustained control operations are taken to control the Desert Locust invasion in Sudan, great agricultural losses (crops, horticultures and pastures) would occur and threaten food security and livelihoods, particularly in rural areas. In addition, the pest will invade other countries from Sudan such as Egypt, West Africa and the Gulf States

The proposed interventions under this project are designed based on assessment conducted by the government as well as analysis and forecast prepared by FAO this will contribute effectively to safeguard the targeted vulnerable communities affected by the Desert Locust infestation. The interventions will contribute to reducing food insecurity, as well as to complement ongoing activities of the Plant Protection Department.

This project will therefore contribute to address the gap on the ongoing locusts control operations through the provision of the most urgent equipment and supplies as well as other tools required to support expanding control operations in the country.

The below table shows the overall total beneficiaries of the project, dis-aggregated into men, women, boy and girls as shown below:
Men Women Boys Girls Total
