Emergency Food Crisis Response in East Darfur ltpgtThe proposed project in East Darfur aims to enhance the food security status of affected communities in Yassin and Adila localities through the provision of agricultural inputs, training and livestock support. The project will directly benefit 18,125 individuals, including IDPs, refugees, and host communities. In Yassin and Adila localities, 3000 of the most vulnerable households will receive critical agricultural inputs and necessary training services to enhance crop production. This includes the distribution of improved seeds such as sorghum and millet for household consumption throughout the year as well as groundnuts for market sale. On the field crop trainings will be conducted, comprising five sessions covering technical cultivation practices, seed propagation, and climate adaptation. Furthermore, 350 vulnerable women heading households in these localities will receive five goats each along with necessary training and veterinary services. Animal husbandry training will be provided Additionally 50 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) will receive refresher training to enhance their skills in vaccination, treatment, and community awareness. To promote peace and social cohesion, the facilitation and strengthening of Peace Committee will be supported in Yassin locality. The committee will undergo training in conflict resolution and peacebuilding techniques, enabling them to address conflicts, particularly those arising between farmers and animal breeders. Furthermore, the committee will develop and implement a community-based action plan to improve social cohesion and address underlying grievances related to land access and market issues. ltbrgtFor the proposed project WV Sudan will receive a match fund up to 15%, from other World Vision offices. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Grant Agreement, World Vision Sudan, World Vision Canada and World Vision United Kingdom are all Partners as defined under this Grant Agreement, and each shall be jointly and severally liable for all programmatic delivery, technical, administrative and financial requirements, quality assurance, timely and accurate reporting and any and all other obligations of the Partner as stipulated in the Grant Agreement.ltbrgtlt/pgt
Food Security Response South Kordofan ltpgtltbrgtSave the Children International (SCI), in partnership with SKILLS for Nuba Mountains (SKILLs), is launching a comprehensive response to address the severe food crisis in Dilling, Dellami, Kao Abu Jubeheh, Tolodi and Heiban in the Two Areas targeting a total of 92,105 beneficiaries. Our integrated Nutrition (total beneficiariesnbspltbrgt51,484), Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) (total beneficiaries 19,321), and WASH (total beneficaries 21,300) intervention targets vulnerable children under 5 and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBWG) during the hunger gap/lean season. The prioritized sectors and localities were a result of consultation meetings hosted by SHF, where all partners in the state helped determine the biggest needs. A total of ltbrgt92,105 direct beneficiaries will be targeted out of which approximately 62% are females. ltbrgtBuilding upon successful modalities implemented by the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) of Sudan, our initiative entails a scale-up of proven strategies. This includes mass Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and edema screenings, adoption of the family MUAC approach, provision of cooking demonstrations, Social and Behavioral Change Communication (SBCC) sessions focusing on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF), Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), and health education, among others.lt/pgtltpgtThe distribution of agriculture inputs to vulnerable households, accompanied by training on best agricultural practices. Livestock support will also be extended to targeted households, coupled with refresher trainings for animal health workers. ltbrgtltbrgtThe projectnbsp faces the risk of exacerbating tensions and undermining social cohesion through discriminatory distribution of essential supplies. To mitigate this, prioritizing equitable resource allocation is crucial for fostering community trust and strengthening social bonds. Conducting thorough conflict analysis alongside other project assessments ensures interventions are tailored to address underlying tensions while effectively meeting life saving needs. See Annex on Conflict Sensitivity for more information how SC will adapt its response to address this.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgt
Ensuring the targeting of vulnerable women and girls in emergency food distributions ltpgtltbrgtAs Sudan heads inexorably towards a major famine-situation, coming on the back of widespread conflict which has exacerbated the already present food insecurity, meeting the nutritional shortfalls of both IDP and non-IDP populations will be primordial. Bearing in mind that women and girls are likely to be disproportionately affected, especially those with specific health issues because they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or responsible for the primary care of many children, there will be a specific requirement to ensure that these women and girls are pre-identified and prioritized for the delivery of agricultural inputs (to be less dependent on aid in the longer term) and have their nutritional situation regularly monitored (in the immediate). Failing to do this will have far-reaching nefarious consequences for the women and girls’ personal development but also on the future development of the country on top of failing women and girls’ fundamental human rightsltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtUN Women intends to work alongside FAO and WFP (both of which have agreed to the partnership) involved in the frontline of the current agricultural inputs and food distribution plan in order to better target and monitor agricultural inputs and food distribution to vulnerable women and girls. It will select the intervention zones after consulting with those Agencies based on need and accessibility. It will work with local partners and provide priority needs assessments, training to key aid workers and nutritional monitoring services.lt/pgtltpgtIn more specific terms, the initiative will focus on four key activity areas: ltbrgt1.	Provide advocacy and communication to community members and aid workers on the need to prioritize the selected demographicltbrgt2.	Provide capacity building training to food distribution aid workers and those involved in frontline logistics in the target areas so they understand the needs of the prioritized demographicltbrgt3.	Pre-identify the vulnerable women and girls in the target areas and communicate the details to the lead aid Agency for the sectorltbrgt4.	Provide monitoring to ensure that the pre-identified beneficiaries are receiving adequate agricultural inputs and nutrition and obtain feedback from the individuals and their communities (2-way community feedback mechanism).ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe local partners that have been selected to work with UN Women on this initiative are the ones with the strongest capabilities for working on these issues in the Gedaref and Kassala Stateslt/pgt
Early Action Integrated Food Crisis Response to Food Security Crisis in North Darfur State, Sudan ltpgtThe project will be implemented by COOPI and UPO in Mellit locality which is located about 65 km from El Fasher town, North Darfur state, Sudan. The two partners owe several years of operational experience in North Darfur and have well established offices and staff on the ground. The proposed action will target Mellit, a total direct beneficiary of 17,977 individuals including women, men, boys, girls and people with disability out with a focus on newly internally displaced persons (IDPs) forced to flee their homes/origin areas after 15 April 2023 due to ongoing Sudan war. ltbrgtThe war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been especially hard on Darfur region, which had already experienced several periods of armed conflict over the past two decades. At communal level, the new arrivals have settled in a frame of pre- existing tensions and episodes of violence over resources. Although there are other factors driving conflict in the targeted areas, there is a predominance of land, pasture and water resource control driven conflict. ltbrgtDuring the past years, clashes have been registered between farmers and pastoralists due to limited access to water sources and consequently damage to agricultural fields by cattle, in ND. These conflicts easily escalate into ethnic conflicts among groups who already have a history of violent conflict and mistrust. The ongoing Sudanese war and the dispute over Darfur between RSF and SAF, has exacerbated this situation. Economic disruption, restriction of movements, lack of access to basic services are mixing up with pre- existing tensions over the scarce resources.Pastoral communities and farmers, due to the market disruption caused by the war and the restriction of  access, is being unable to secure or afford essential agricultural inputs, including fuel and fertilizer, thus jeopardizing the upcoming planting season, and in turn the food security status of the population of the area.ltbrgtAs farmers will be advised to plant less, adopt cash-crop production, or assume alternative livelihood activities, this will lead to reduced yields impacting in turn food availability and all four dimensions pertinent to food security – food availability, food access, utilization and stability, which are all currently endangered. Additionally, newly arrivals, families which completely loss their means of sustainability are captured in a vicious cycle of poverty. This proposal is aiming at tackle the extremely food insecurity level (and projected) through a holistic, integrated and conflict sensitivity approach, targeting the most at risk, vulnerable social groups inside IDPs and Hosting Communities, in the rural area of Mellit. ltbrgtlt/pgt
COB Response: Multi-Sectoral, Localised Support to Hard-to-reach Communities in Sudan ltpgtltbrgtThe proposed “Multi-Sectoral, Localised Support to Hard-to-Reach Communities in Sudan" project is a collaborative effort led by DRC in partnership with UPO and SZWO in collaboration with the ERRs. It aims to provide vital assistance to local communities residing in hard-to-reach (H2R) areas across three key states: Khartoum (Omdurman locality), Al-Gezirah (El Kubra, Managil, and Junub Al Gezirah localities), and Sennar. ltbrgtAs a result of the conflict which erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on 15 April 2023, and of the RSF advance in Al-Gezirah State on 15 December 2023, a vast portion of the population in these states needs multi-sectoral humanitarian assistance. According to the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Weekly Displacement Snapshot 22, 56% of the IDPs in the country are originally from Khartoum State, many of whom have been also displaced after the advance of RSF in Al-Gezirah State.nbsp Additionally, approximately 8% of the displaced in the country are residents from Al-Gezirah and have respectively fled to Sennar, Gedaref, Kassala and Red Sea State. It has been reported that there has been a staggering increase in the number of IDPs in Sennar State with an influx of at least 10,676 individuals during the first week of March 2024. ltbrgtDRC and local partners designed a two-fold strategy aimed at maximising the efficiency of the intervention leveraging respective sectoral expertise and humanitarian access capacity. DRC and partners will target the same project localities providing different services through direct assistance and financial support to the ERRs.ltbrgtlt/pgt
Emergency Food and Nutrition Response for Food-insecure Population in El Salam and Al Odeya Localities in West Kordofan State, Sudan. ltpgtThe proposed project aims at reaching a total of 22,189 most vulnerable individuals among IDPs and host communities in Al Odiya and Al Salam localities, in West Kordofan to access life-saving FSL and nutrition services to improve household food security enhance their resilience, preparedness and self reliance. lt/pgtltpgtltugtUnder FSL sectorlt/ugt, the intervention proposes to provide emergency in-kind food assistance for vulnerable host and IDPs toltigt cover 6,071 individuals lt/igt(both host, IDPs HHs with adequate land to cultivate, and pastoralist communities).  The intervention aims at responding cricitcal, life-saving food security needs to prevent famine like situation in the targeted geograpihc locaitons. lt/pgtltpgtltugtUnder Nutrition sectorlt/ugt support, lifesaving nutrition services will be provided in three static facilities (two nutrition OTPs, and one stabilization centers) , and via two mobile health teams to reach 1ltigt6,188 underserved populationlt/igt including dense settlements of newly displaced IDPs and hard to reach areas. Support will include treatment of SAM children with medical complications in Alodiya hospital, and without medical complication in 2 PHCCs and mobile teams. Active screening for acute malnutrition and referral to the supported health facilities (via support community volunteers) promotion of infant and young child feeding (IYCF through Mother Support Groups) practices for emergency contexts (IYCF-E) via one to one and group counselling and health education messaging and campaigns to the wider catchment population planned. Hygiene kits will also be provided to all SAM cases admitted in the OTPs to reduce water born disease related child illnesses. lt/pgtltpgtltspangtltugtThe national partner AORD lt/ugtwill be responsible for distributing 2,365 food rations from the total target of 6,706 individuals, in a harmonized manner with Concern Worldwide (modality, logistics and distribution).

Provision of emergency WASH assistance to IDPs and host communities in North Darfur. ltpgtSudan hosts the world's largest population of internally displaced persons, with over 6.5 million displaced internally and an additional 2 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries. The inability to move to safer areas is a major challenge for those trapped in high-conflict zones like Zamzam camp in El Fasher, worsened by the high cost of travel. While conflict has slightly decreased in some western areas, North Darfur has experienced an escalation. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThrough this proposed project, Solidarites International (SI) will participate in addressing, in synergy with other actors such as Relief International (RI), the food crisis in El Fasher, an area categorized as IPC System 4. SI will work on improving hygiene practices and providing emergency water and  sanitation services for conflict-affected populations in El Fasher locality, thus addressing urgent needs for basic water, sanitation, and hygiene services in response to increased demands due to conflict and related internal displacement. SI’s emergency WASH assistance will be done in synergy with other actors who plan to intervene in El Fasher, notably through CBPF funding such as RI. The latter will for example focus on food security and livelihood support as well as improving access to health and nutrition services: SI’s emergency WASH activities will come in complementarity to these activities allowing access to hygiene materials, clean water and sanitation which will contribute to reduce the prevalence of water-borne diseases and diseases – including those related to crops’ soil contamination – that could aggravate individuals’ already critical food security situation. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtSI aims to integrate conflict sensitivity into all its activities, involving comprehensive conflict analysis, adapting activities to the context, and adhering to the "do no harm" principle. This includes community engagement, transparent beneficiary selection, and risk assessment. Collaboration, monitoring and evaluation, staff training, feedback mechanisms, and flexible programming are key. The goal is to ensure activities do not escalate conflicts, but instead promote peace, stability, and provide timely assistance to vulnerable communities in conflict zones.ltbrgtlt/pgt
Prepositioning of NFI kits ltpgtThis project will distribute up to 12,000 non-food items (NFI) kits targeting some 60,000 individuals in 12 months in Sudan based on the actual needs and gaps in full coordination with the shelter and NFI cluster. The ongoing conflict since April 2023 has already uprooted 7.2 million internally and 2.2 million to neighbouring countries, with new displacement taking place daily. Combined with the pre-conflict IDP caseload Sudan has more than 10 million IDPs making it the largest internal displacement crisis in the world. In addition, about 220,000 refugees and asylum-seekers were secondarily displaced since the start of the conflict mostly from Khartoum to the refugee camps in White Nile State leading to overcrowding of the existing camps. There are an estimated 917,470 refugees and asylum-seekers in Sudan.lt/pgtltpgt ltbrgtStarting in May 2024 the conflict in Sudan escalated in El Fasher, North Darfur and has since moved into other states such as Sennar, leading to large-scale displacement with the respective states, but also into other states. The annual rainy season, starting in July, is predicted to be more severe and devastating than in previous years due to El Nino related climate effects and will likely affect large number of people.  The displaced people will need life-saving NFIs such as sleeping mats, jerry cans, blankets, solar lamps, mosquito nets, plastic sheets and kitchen sets. These items help restore a minimal sense of dignity and protection against exposure to the elements, mitigate against health risks and provide some privacy and security to those in need. ltbrgtIn the event that UNHCR and/or its partners are unable to access prioritized areas and the most vulnerable, UNHCR in consultation with the SNFI Cluster shall endevour to distribute the pipeline to cluster partners who have access. lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtNFI is one of the top three priority needs expressed by the displaced population and will contributes to reduce the suffering of the displaced population. lt/pgtltpgtIn 2023, UNHCR reached over 560,000 people with the NFI assistance of which SHF funds for pre-positioned stocks accounted for the procurement and distribution of 9,000 kits in Gedaref, Blue Nile, Red Sea, Northern, Sennar, West Darfur, Central Darfur States. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThrough this allocation SHF funds will complement UNHCRs core funds which are allocated to the NFI pipeline within its capacity as Sector lead agency. ltbrgtlt/pgt
South Kordofan - Food Security Response (SCI, PLAN, GOAL) ltpgtltbrgtThe intervention aims to prevent acute malnutrition in vulnerable children under 5 and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls during the hunger gap/lean season. It uses a tested modality by WFP and FMoH of Sudan, including mass MUAC and Oedema screening, family MUAC approach, cooking demonstrations, and SBCC sessions on IYCF, WASH, and Health. The project integrates with FSL, WASH, and CASH interventions for a holistic approach to malnutrition prevention and resilience building.ltbrgtSince the conflict eruption on April 15th, 2023, food security has worsened. Conflict and economic decline have driven about 20.3 million people in Sudan into high levels of acute food insecurity. Food insecurity rates in West Darfur, South Kordofan, Central Darfur, Blue Nile, and North Kordofan are among the highest in the country. Sudan is among the top four countries globally with the highest prevalence of global acute malnutrition.ltbrgt ltbrgtIn response to the food crisis in SCI, PLAN, and GOAL propose an integrated multi-sector project targeting individuals in South Kordofan state. The goal is to provide nutrition, WASH, CASH, and FSL services, aimed at increasing community resilience and preventing food insecurity. SCI will focus on Abu Gebeha locality to respond by implementing the Aisda Plus approach to provide cooking demonstrations to local communities to enable them to tackle nutritional food insecurity. The nutritional intervention will be accompanied by WASH activities to support the community members. ltbrgtSCI will respond to 39327 beneficiaries.  Also, for those who have livestock that is in danger due to the lack of services since the conflict erupted, SCI will support veteran services, such as vaccination and community awareness raising to tackle food insecurity. ltbrgtPlan International Sudan (PIS) will contribute to the consortium with an integrated response in Water, Hygiene  Sanitation (WASH), Food Security  Livelihoods, and Nutrition response in Dilling and Habila localities of the Greater Kordofan. The response in Dilling will focus on FSL (Seed Distribution), Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA), and WASH programs (63973 beneficiaries), while the response in Habila will focus on providing MPCA to Habila IDPs settled in Dilling (49,543 beneficiaries). This is motivated by the inaccessibility of Habila due to the security situation and the lack of Plan’s presence in the area.ltbrgtGOAL will also provide integrated health and nutrition services in Rashad with targeted supplementary feeding program (TSFP) and outpatient therapeutic program (OTP) services including food processing and demonstrations which will directly address the multi-sectoral causes of malnutrition, such as inadequate diet diversity, poor WASH behaviors, and unsafe food preparation and conservation methods(30,000 nutrition beneficiaries, and 6,600 FSL beneficiaries) . In addition, GOAL will implement seed fairs and Multipurpose Cash Assistance in Dilling (300 Beneficiaries). ltbrgtlt/pgt
Emergency Appeal in Complementing Government's effort in combating Edola Virus Disease in Guinea. An outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever that doctors have described as "unprecedented " has been out since early February 2014, its spread to three countries in the Mano River region of West Africa (Guinea-Conakry, Liberia, Sierra Leone) and threatens to become one of the deadliest in years.This project is consistent with CAFOD’s vision in the Mano River Region which is: To promote a sustainable, peaceful and productive society in Sierra Leone and Liberia contributing to regional stability. It is also linked to CAFOD’s CSP and humanitarian strategy in the region which is to provide support to partners to assess emergency situations, prepare for and strengthen their capacity to respond to them through contingency planning as well as train partners and their operational communities on risk assessment, vulnerability analysis and monitoring and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies. Through this project,CAFOD seeks to prevent further spread of the Ebola virus by raising mass sensitization and awareness of  identification, treatment and preventative hygiene practices, as well as providing kits to the most vulnerable areas to assist in good hygiene practice.  Caritas Guinea has recently been at the forefront of managing emergency projects, including food, hygiene, health and medical services; and the care of displaced persons and refugees affected by decades of civil wars in the neighbouring countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast.
