Comprehensive Primary Health Care Services For Vulnerable Communities in West and Central Darfur According to Sudan's 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan, the Central Darfur State Emergency Profile, the Simple Spatial Surveying Method (S3M) reports, Health Resources Availability Mapping System (HeRAMS) reports, local health surveys, and various regional interagency assessments, recurring challenges in the proposed operating areas include poor access to health and nutrition services, low capacities of health and nutrition staff, disease outbreaks, insufficient harvests, high rates of malnutrition, low access to potable water, and mixed use of water sources for both human and animal consumption. Conflict exacerbates these challenges, forces people to flee their homes, and results in the destruction of property and assets. To address the challenges mentioned above, World Relief Sudan (WRS) will provide life-saving interventions in the Health sector. The Health sector will focus on supporting primary health care clinics to enhance the package of basic health services offered. Health facility staff and local Community Health Promoters will receive training, and clinics will participate in surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment of common communicable and other diseases. Maternal and child health will also be a focus of health services. The project supports 8 health facilities in 4 localities of west and central Darfur. The name of health facilities are Armankul, Tendelti, Tenjekie, Noorselam, Center 8, Mali, Jebal Ahmar and Kairo in localities of Geneia, Nertiti, Azum and Golo. The project also supports six mobile clinics (two in Golo locality, three in Nertiti locality and 1 in Azum locality). The project planned to build the capacity of medical assistants and nurses on psychological support for girls and women affected by GBV by providing training. Then the trained health personnel will provide consultations when people affected by GBV visits health clinics for treatment.   

During needs assessment emphasis was given to identify needs and priorities of women and their both immediate and strategic needs are incorporated in the plan.  Besides, mitigating the negative impact of the project on micro environment is taken in to account while designing this project. Certain health personnel will be trained on management and disposal of bio-hazard and the project will distribute and plant seedlings in health facilities supported by the project. WR has a plan to raise more than 100,000 multi-purpose tree and fruit seedlings in two nurseries in Azum and Nertiti.

All the project proposed areas and current operational location of WR except Golo area. WR has been providing in providing health, nutrition, wash, food security and livelihoods intervention in proposed locations for several years in Geneina and since 2016 in Jebel Mara and Azum areas. In Golo locality WR is proposing to work in eight villages including Kormol, Kairo, Tarbi, Sonasona, Kilinge, Koron, Jadide and Taringa. WR has  recently visited these villages and agreed with locality commissionaire that they are not covered by other international organizations. Furthermore, coordination has been made with TDH, CRS, IMC, and IRW at Nertiti and Zalingi level to avoid duplication of efforts in Golo areas during concept note development. The need is still very high compared to the resources available.
