Improve the access to sustainable WASH and education services as well as livelihood opportunities through inclusive approach for protracted affected people living in Kreinik camp Kreinik is a town of West Darfur located 60km east of Geneina, and thus very close to the Chadian border. In 2004, it was a significant area  of refuge for IDPs (22,907 persons) fleeing the activity of armed groups and inter-tribal conflicts that started occurring in 2003. Most of them settled in two camps located within Kreinik town – and which constitute today two districts included in the locality As the IDPs live inside the town itself, they share their districts with 5000 hosts. Because of the insecurity and the remoteness of the location (the road between Geneina and Kreinik is in bad condition), public services are almost absent. Furthermore, for many years international and national NGOs have provided populations with relief assistance without taking into account durable solutions, thinking that the displaced populations would one day return to their home villages. However, they are now protracted IDPs and even though the majority of them expressed their will to go back to their village, they know the security situation does not allow it (Report on field visit to Kreinik Camp, West Darfur for 2017 SHF 1st allocation Protracted Displacement Pilot Programme). That is why the proposed action focuses on the rehabilitation of lacking basic services while building the capacities of the communities in order to strengthen their resilience and develop coping mechanisms on their own.

It seems more appropriate to adopt a multi-sectoral approach in order to respond to all the global needs of the targeted populations, which is why TGH will act in the WASH, FSL and education sectors. The action will participate in the capacity building of the communities in terms of local water management, through trainings of a water committee and Hygiene Key Promoters (HKP) who will then be able to conduct hygiene promotion campaigns, rehabilitate, operate and maintain water sources / points. Before handing over to the water committee the water sources, TGH will, with the help of workers from the community, upgrade some water systems into durable ones for a more sustainable action. In terms of FSL, the intervention will address both the urgent and long-term needs of the populations through the provision of agricultural inputs and services for 400 HH and the creation of Common Vegetable Farms for women in order to provide them with livelihood start-up kits and services (trainings). Finally, in the education sector, the emphasis is given to the enhancement of the attractiveness of school and the involvement of the community in children’s education. This will be achieved through a support to the quality of teaching (trainings of teachers and volunteers with the MoE), the creation and capacity building of new and existing Parents and Teachers Associations (PTAs), the implementation of Income Generating Activities (IGAs) for PTAs, the creation of school clubs to ameliorate the educational environment and some rehabilitations of classrooms and WASH facilities, lacking in most schools in Kreinik.
