Livelihood Based Emergency Response Project in the aftermath of the main clashes in West Darfur State of Genena, Sirba  Kreinik Localities, In the previous two years, West Darfur witnessed a series of violent inter-communal conflicts and violence with casualties and displacements as result, mainly between pastoralists and farmers.  Mid-January 2021, major violence broke out, leading to the displacement of over 100,000 people who took refuge in Geneina town or crossed the border into Chad.  While dialogue between the rival parties has been fostered since, occasional clashes still erupt, such as recently, on June 30th, 2021 in several villages in Sirba and Kreneik localities, resulting in casualties, injured people, and destruction of livelihoods. This RfE intervention provides urgent support in the aftermath of the main clashes in January 2021, and in a continued unstable context witnessing sporadic violent outbreaks. The project will contribute to maintaining a level of stability in this precarious situation by providing agricultural support, including for livestock. The last year of conflict in West-Darfur has reduced the resilience of the communities considerably, with tools, seeds, livestock, food stocks, and fodder destroyed or depleted. Vaccination programs did not take place and crop cultivation has been interrupted. Ideally, vaccinations take place in November and the second winter harvest season is a valuable source of income. The objective of this project is to provide timely life-saving and emergency food security and livelihood support to conflict-affected and flood-affected people in Geneina, Sirba, and Kerenik Localities of West Darfur State. Through agricultural support to enhance the food security and resilience among agro-pastoral communities in a precarious context while addressing one of the drivers of conflict that is the perceived disenfranchising of pastoralists of external support to these communities the project will also contribute to creating a context where IDPs can return to their areas of origin. 
This project targets 42,000 affected people in the three target localities including 8,400 IDPs 12,600 returnees and 21,000 host communities/nomads (9,660 men 10,080 women 10,920 boys and 11,340 girls) with the following FSL emergency activities:
