Multi-Sector Food Crisis Response for Conflict-Affected Populations in North Darfur State ltpgtIn response to Food crisis occasioned by the ongoing conflict  in Sudan a consortium consisting of GOAL and KAEDS (A local NGO) propose to undertake an integrated multi-sector project targeting individuals, including: 15,013 men, 15,626 women 19108 boys and 19,888 girls from Kutum and AlWaha localities of North Darfur State. The countrywide food insecurity is affecting Kutum and Al Waha localities, which like much of North Darfur state has presence of multiple opposing armed groups. Kutum and Al Waha also host many different ethnic groups, including some supportive of RSF particularly in Al Waha, and other communities who have historically been attacked by RSF, including many IDPs still in Kassab camp and Kutum town. GOAL and KAEDS have both worked in Kutum and Al Waha for many years, working equitably with all ethnic and tribal communities, and both NGOs have a reservoir of acceptance among all ethnic communities, allowing us to continue accessing sites controlled by multiple opposed armed groups. The response below is designed to address health  nutrition needs impartially in all areas, as well as provide water and FSL support targeting livelihood strategies used by different ethnic communities, including farming and herding. ltbrgtThe overall goal of the program is to provide timely multi-sector  life-saving assistance to crisis affected people to reduce mortality  morbidity by providing life-sustaining basic services which include providing  safe, equitable and dignified access to critical Health (with strong emphasis and integration of reproductive health (RH) services), Nutrition, WASH, FSL and GBV services to people in need of humanitarian assistance in the targeted areas. GOAL has an operational presence, expertise, and experience in North Darfur and will leverage these in addition to their existing programing to complement and maximize overall program impact. GOAL will rehabilitate some of the water sources and systems which had suffered destruction as s result of the clashes. GOAL will also provide integrated health and nutrition services with outpatient therapeutic program (OTP) services. To address causes of malnutrition, GOAL will implement kitchen gardening targeting 1250 households with children under the age of 5. 1,250 members of nutrition community groups (eg mother support groups and NIPP circles) will receive seeds in order to facilitate home gardening. ltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtFurther, GOAL and KAEDS (below) together will distribute seed and tools vouchers to total of 900 smallholder farmers. GOAL will cover 550 households, while KAEDS will cover 350 with vouchers. The Voucher value is calculated to provide certified seeds and tools for adequate to plant 3 Fedhan of land with variety of crops, including millet, groundnuts, sorghum, and some vegetables, as well as tools. The farmers will be allowed to spend the voucher value at the Fair activity as he/she chooses. lt/spangtltspangt1000 HH will taken through Agriculture extension sessions by 10 Community Animal Heal Workers(CAHWs). The 10 CAHWs will be trained and facilitated to conduct extension sessions. KAEDs will facilitate vaccination of 10,000 animals from 2000 Households. Directly supporting livelihoods in both farming and pastoralist communities is intended to maintain acceptance as part of conflict sensitivity and also to diversify nutrient sources to address widespread food and nutrition insecurity. ltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgt
