Support the provision of basic Health, Nutrition and WASH services to communities affected by conflict and disasters in South and East Darfur states. The absence of any political settlement to address the continued conflict, which could lead to the return of IDPs to their original villages, the IDP camps and gatherings across Darfur have continued to host huge numbers of IDPs who are mostly dependent on humanitarian aid for most of their basic needs. Even though there was relative reduction in the level of violence in Darfur in 2015, in comparison with the previous two years, UNOCHA report released in December 2015 revealed that more than 109,543 people were newly displaced during the year 2015. Most of the areas supported under this project have either been directly affected or received IDPs from other conflict areas.
The continued instability coupled with the expected high rate of malnutrition, communicable diseases and critical shortage of water due to El Nino effect affecting East African region, it is essential to ensure the continued provision of basic health, nutrition and WASH services to these communities with depleted coping mechanisms. 
ARC has been working in South Darfur since the start of the Darfur conflict in 2004 and expanded its program in East Darfur since 2014. Through the years of implementing multi-sectoral projects in IDP camps and host communities funded by different donors (OFDA, UNICEF and WFP), ARC has developed strong coordination of activities liaising with government line ministries, UN agencies and other international and national NGOs. At the same time, ARC has gained trust and acceptance by the targeted communities. ARC will build on the experience gained through implementation of integrated health, nutrition and WASH activities.
This project is designed with the objective of providing quality and sustainable health and nutrition services in communities affected by protracted emergency and recent conflict and displacement in Kalma camp, Gereida camp and El Salam localities of South Darfur and El Neem camp, Yassin, Assalaya, Elfardos and Abukarinka localities of East Darfur. WASH activities will be implemented  only in Kalma camp in  South Darfur.
In health sector, ARC will ensure continuity of minimum basic package of health services in 19 PHC facilities Kalma camp (3), Gereida locality (5), El Neem IDP camp (1), El Salam (5), Yassin (2) El Fardos (1) and Abukarinka (2). ARC will also strengthen its disease surveillance and health promotion activities in these locations. 
In nutrition sector, ARC will provide Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) services and IYCF counselling in 11 Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP)/ Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) sites integrated in the above mentioned PHC facilities. In addition to these OTP/TSFP sites, ARC will continue operating one Stabilization Center (SC) in Kalma camp including use of mother support group strategy to sensitize communities on key Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) messages and practices. 
The WASH sector interventions will focus on building the capacity of WASH committees in terms of maintenance of existing water supply systems as well as promotion of proper hygiene and sanitation practices in Kalma IDP camp (sectors 4A, 4B, 8 amp 9) while working with other WASH partners and Water Environmental and Sanitation (WES) department of the State Ministry of Health (SMoH) in establishing cost recovery system to make the services more sustainable. ARC will also build on the successes of replacing the motorized systems with solar powered water supply system
