2011 Humanitarian Work Plan Briefing Note

Introduction
This briefing packet contains background information for the Sector presentations/defense for the 2011
UN & Partners Work Plan for Sudan (Work Plan), taking place on Sunday 17 October in the Conference
Room of the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs.
The 2011 Humanitarian Work Plan for Sudan is a planning, monitoring, coordination and fundraising
tool for humanitarian actors in Sudan.
The strategic priorities for the 2011 Work Plan are:

 Improved preparedness and strengthened capacities of national and local actors, as well as of
international humanitarian actors, to respond effectively and efficiently to existing and
unforeseen humanitarian needs in Sudan;
 Greater access and availability to assistance and basic services with an emphasis on improved
protection of, promotion and respect for human rights for people in vulnerable situations; and
 Creation of conditions conducive to durable solutions, increased self-reliance and peaceful
co-existence for IDPs and other crisis-affected populations.
The Work Plan is organized by sectors with response plans that address humanitarian priorities,
commonalities and specificities across Sudan. The ten sectors with their lead agency are listed below:
 Food Security and Livelihoods (FAO, WFP)
 Water, Sanitation, & Hygiene (UNICEF)
 Health (WHO)
 Protection (UNHCR)
 Education (UNICEF, with support from Save the Children-Sweden)
 Nutrition (UNICEF)
 Mine Action (UNMAO)
 Non-Food Items and Emergency Shelter (UNJLC)
 Basic Infrastructure and Settlement (UNOPS)
 Common Services & Coordination (OCHA)
Sectors integrate four cross-cutting issues into their programming: early recovery (UNDP), environment
(UNEP), gender (UNIFEM), and HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
Purpose
The 2011 Humanitarian Work Plan presents a coherent strategy detailing the humanitarian community’s
guiding priorities for the year, and describes sector-specific objectives, activities, and requirements.
In 2011, almost six years since the CPA was signed, with internecine conflict prevalent in some areas,
humanitarian needs of beneficiaries have changed. Over the last two years, humanitarian assistance
organisations have adapted their emergency programming, in particular in Darfur and southern Sudan, to
respond to the evolving needs of IDPs and vulnerable residents. Therefore, in 2011, in sectors including
food security and livelihoods, nutrition, health, NFIs, and mine action, assistance will be two-pronged.
Life-saving assistance will continue where it is indicated but, in a departure from habitual practice,
agencies will seek to strengthen national capacity, preparedness and mitigation against future shocks, and
work to reduce dependency, increase self-reliance, and build livelihoods, as part of relief assistance
programmes. Programming needs will adjust to these changes, ensuring that humanitarian assistance
continues to be effective, but is also as appropriate as possible in the evolving context.
The 2011 Work Plan strategy seeks to prioritize the delivery of essential services within a framework that
promotes the emergence of durable solutions to Sudan’s persistent challenges. To that end, sector
activities in 2011 will maintain critical relief to people in need, while supporting concrete actions that
strengthen the resilience of crisis-affected communities and bolster the capacity of local stakeholders to
manage humanitarian response.
Humanitarian Planning and Reporting Steps
The process ensures that the UN and partners operate in a way that is accountable and transparent, while
ensuring strong coordination and partnership with Sudanese government counterparts.
The Work Plan cycle consists of three phases completed in consultation with partners including
government, international and national NGOs, donors and UN agencies.
(i) The Humanitarian Work Plan, published December 2010 is the preparatory phase that
identifies needs, sets objectives, priorities, actions and estimated requirements in sector
response plans. These are consolidated as part of the global appeal for Sudan; commonly
called a CAP (Consolidated Appeal Process). The draft should be ready for review by early
November 2010.
(i) Mid-year Review, published June 2011. By mid-year, a review of progress is to update
response plans is necessary. Sectors compile reports on activities to indicate if targets are
being met and re-align priorities according to changes in context.
(ii) End-year Report, published February 2012. At year end, achievements, challenges and
successes are reported by sector. Observations of lessons learned, funding trends and
recommendations for future humanitarian efforts are offered.

Food Security and Livelihoods Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Improve household food and livelihoods security of vulnerable populations in Sudan
Estimated Financial Requirements: to be confirmed
Rationale: There was progress in 2010 despite numerous challenges, including inadequate funding,
limited access to some locations especially in Darfur due to insecurity, limited logistical, financial and
technical capacity of partners (National NGOs and CBOs) to implement sector activities and sudden
eventualities like floods, crop/livestock pests and diseases that destroyed crops, livestock and other
livelihoods assets.
Food security in northern Sudan is not expected to considerably improve in the near future due to limited
access by some households to cultivable land, intermittent floods, pests, diseases and chronic poverty in
areas such as Eastern Sudan. Continued support is needed for the vulnerable households to reduce their
vulnerability to shocks.
In Darfur, transitory and chronic food insecurity has greatly affected the livelihoods of the population.
The protracted conflict has led to the deterioration of agriculture and livestock production systems that are
unable to support the basic needs of the community; coupled with exogenous factors - dry spells, floods,
inadequate supply of essential agricultural and livestock inputs, high grain prices, decreased livestock
prices, limited market access, and degradation/depletion of natural resources base. There is a high
prevalence of endemic and epidemic diseases among livestock aggravated by poor veterinary services,
blockage of the traditional migratory routes, reduced access to pasture and water, and poor terms of trade.
Fatal diseases have additional negative socio-economic impacts and public health hazards.
Food security in the Three Areas and Eastern Sudan is as difficult as in Darfur, compounded by socio-
economic, political and environmental problems. Similar underlying factors are exacerbated by
underdevelopment and chronic poverty. Livestock have limited pastures and water sources, couple with
inadequate veterinary extension services, so there is a high concentration of animals in a few locations.
Mesquite trees greatly reducing crop production. Concentrations of people and livestock where the
resources are available as led to conflicts. The large number of returnees and refugees in the regions need
continued support for them to be self reliant. The sector needs strengthening to better coordinate
interventions, and build capacity of partners to undertake needs assessments, needs/gaps analysis, and
mapping.
Objectives:
1. Reduce acute food insecurity and save lives of vulnerable households
2. Protect, restore and improve household food and livelihoods security of vulnerable populations
for self reliance
3. Restore and promote sustainable Natural Resource Management (NRM) by vulnerable
communities
4. Support emergency preparedness and effective response to food security and livelihoods hazards
5. Strengthen coordination of Food Security and Livelihoods Sector/Cluster interventions
Priorities:
Geographic Activities
 Darfur Region; The  Emergency relief assistance to reduce acute food insecurity
Three Areas; Eastern  Provision of agriculture and livestock productive inputs and services
Sudan  Support to livelihoods diversification and technology transfer
 Restoration and protection of environment and other natural resources
 Coordination of food security and livelihoods sector interventions
Health Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Ensure vulnerable populations are provided with integrated health services through
existing safety, emphasizing maternal and child health; and enhancing local preparedness and response
capacities especially in outbreak prone regions.
Rationale: Provision of quality health care in Sudan is challenging and limited resources are available to
the health systems. Low health indicators are widely prevalent in many states.
Maintaining and improving access to essential services remain one of the main priorities of the sector.
Some areas have been inaccessible for so long that very little information is known about the health
conditions of the local population, and there is an urgent need for investigation and verification of
conditions. In Darfur, 77% of the health facilities are currently functioning, irrespective of the quality of
services provided. 17 out of 26 rural hospitals managed by SMoH in greater Darfur are supported by UN
agencies and INGOs. Limitations in health services provision will rise as several agencies cease
operations in the region. To September 2010, 64% of PHC facilities in South Kordofan were providing
the basic package of health care services - immunization, ANC and consultations, while 74% in Eastern
States and 72% in Blue Nile State were able to offer these services.
Seasonal disasters have significantly affected the health of vulnerable populations. A large outbreak of
watery diarrhea was reported from the 15 Northern states in 2010, with total cases 19,868, including 6
deaths. In the year to July 2010, 2011 meningitis outbreaks were reported, with 84 deaths. Dengue Fever
showed increasingly alarming trends in Kassala and Port-Sudan states with more than 3,000 cases and 12
deaths reported to the end of August 2010, and in the year to August 2010, 409 cases of measles were
reported in West Darfur State.
Despite significant investment, maternal and child health remains alarming both in Darfur and transitional
areas. In Darfur, all rural hospitals and only 12 % of primary health care facilities provide Basic
Emergency Obstetric Care (BEmOC), In Gadarif, Kassala and Red Sea, only 65% of the health facilities
are providing basic EmOC services and the continuous influx of refugees from the neighboring countries
is further affecting the already limited available resources. Vaccine coverage for children under 1 year has
shown rates below the nationally set target of 95% across Darfur and transitional areas. Intensified efforts
to improve delivery of childcare health services will be made.
Continuous and immediate health interventions are needed, and the health sector has identified three
strategic objectives to guide its work through 2011
Objectives:
6. Contribute to better access for vulnerable populations to quality health care services that includes
basic health packages and emergency referral services.
7. Strengthen local capacity to predict, prepare for, respond to, mitigate and manage health and
nutrition risks including communicable diseases outbreaks and seasonal emergencies.
8. Contribute to a reduction in maternal and child morbidity and mortality focusing on safe
motherhood and child survival interventions.
Priorities:
Geographic: Health priorities:
 Blue Nile  Improve access to health care services.
 Kassala State  Strengthen local preparedness and response capacities.
 Red Sea State  Improve service delivery for maternal and child health.
 Southern Darfur  Improve coordination, partnership predictability and responsibility
 Northern Darfur amongst all actors.
 Western Darfur
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Ensure equitable access to safe water supply and improve sanitation and hygiene.
Rationale: According to the 2006 SHHS data, the water supply and sanitation coverage for Sudan was
56.1% and 31.4% respectively.
Wide disparities exist in water supply and sanitation coverage between the urban and rural areas, and
between different states, and areas within each state. In some areas, the water supply coverage is less than
20% and the sanitation coverage is less than 10%. Nearly 75% of basic schools do not have water and
sanitation facilities. Diarrhoea (23%) is the second major cause of high under-five mortality rates in
Sudan. AWD and diarrhoea outbreaks are very common in many parts of the country, however are
controlled for the last two years. Over 2.7 million IDPs in Darfur are fully dependent on external support
to maintain their water supply and sanitation services. Over 2 million people who have returned do not
have the minimum level of water supply and sanitation services in their villages. In this context, the
WASH Sector Objectives developed are directly contributing to the Strategic priorities of the HWP 2011
as shown:
Objectives:
1.. Sustain access to water, sanitation and hygiene promotion services to under-served and
vulnerable population affected by conflict, referendum, flood, drought, disease outbreaks, and in
areas of returnees and rural areas.
2. Expand/ re-establish access to water, sanitation and hygiene promotion services to under-served
and vulnerable population affected by conflict, referendum, flood, drought, disease outbreaks,
and in areas of returnees and rural areas.
3. Build capacity of communities, local authorities, implementing partners, and the WASH Sector to
sustain, expand, coordinate and manage water, sanitation and hygiene services, and water
resources to improve resilience to drought and sustainability of services.
Priorities:
Abyei, Blue Nile, Gedarif,  Support operation and management of existing water and sanitation
Gezira, Kassala, River Nile, facilities in IDP camps.
Northern State, Khartoum,  Rehabilitation of old and construction of new WatSan facilities.
North Darfur, North Kordofan,  Chlorination of water supply, vector control, water quality surveillance,
Red Sea, South Darfur, South monitoring and hygiene promotion.
Kordofan, West Darfur, White  Emergency preparedness and response.
Nile.  Training of Communities and Sector staff on operation and management of
WASH interventions.
 Development of community groups for protecting water sources and
producing sanitation hardware products.
 Provision of soap along with hygiene promotion in high risk areas and
schools.
Protection Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Support national capacity to ensure the protection of civilians, promote the respect for
their rights, with particular attention to women, children, displaced populations and other vulnerable
groups; and to create conditions conducive to durable solutions.
Rationale: 2011 will be a critical year with the referenda in South Sudan and Abyei, Popular
Consultations in the Protocol Areas and continuation of the peace building challenges for Darfur, and
Doha talks. Regardless of the outcome of the referendum the prevention of statelessness, promotion of
rights and protection of Southerners in the North and Northerners in the South as well as at risk groups in
the Transitional Areas such as nomadic populations will be critical challenges.
The sector will cooperatively support the authorities to create conditions for durable solutions.
Appropriate protection responses will be determined based upon the specific needs of populations of
concern, including refugees, returnees, and internally displaced present across Sudan. Protection
interventions will specifically focus on conflict areas, and underserved areas in the East and Three Areas.
Increasing the capacity of state actors on international, regional and national human rights, humanitarian
and refugee protection regimes, rights of internally displaced persons, child and women’s rights etc. will
be in the focus of the protection sector.
Conflict in Darfur has escalated in several areas compared to 2009 levels (e.g. in East Jebel Marra) and
humanitarian organizations do not yet have regular and unimpeded access to these areas. Displacements are
continuing with incumbent risks to physical security, particularly GBV, and other protection risks and
insecurity and restricted access are still complicating service delivery. The East continues to host conflict
affected and environmental IDPs and a protracted refugee situation and an increased flow of asylum
seekers. Across all states awareness of internationally recognized frameworks and mechanisms needs
strengthening.
Objectives:
1. Increase protection of civilians and realization of their rights
2. Enhance preparedness and strengthen the capacity of government actors to prevent and respond to
human rights violations
3. Increase self-reliance of communities and individuals enabling them to establish a protective
conducive environment.
Priorities:
 Darfur  Enhance capacity of local communities, through peace building
 Eastern Sudan  Empower GoS to deliver services for children, youth and women
 Khartoum State  Support authorities to create conditions conducive for durable solutions
 Three Areas  Provide technical training and support to relevant authorities and institutions.
 Areas of displacement  Increase analysis, protection and return monitoring of durable solutions and
reporting on trends for immediate referrals and response
 Specific focus on release and reintegration of children recruited/ associated
by armed forces and groups and on the monitoring of grave violations of
child rights
 Create a broader protective environment for children, responding to violence,
abuse and neglect
 Improve community awareness of basic rights and national and international
principles (child protection, GBV/FGM, IDP Policy and Guiding Principles,
refugee rights)
 Enhance protection advocacy through improved
communication/coordination with various national stakeholders.
Education Sector Brief
Sector Purpose: Maintain and increase access to quality basic education, learning opportunities and
psychosocial support for vulnerable children to save lives, build a culture of peaceful co-existence,
strengthened capacity of local communities to respond to emergencies; and sustainability of services
through building knowledge management and strengthening partners.
Rationale: Education is a life-saving and the first well-structured social protection mechanism for
children at risk. Education partners has been using schools as a venue to address the developmental,
psychosocial and protection needs of conflict-affected children and providing support as part of
emergency, humanitarian and early recovery responses. Education sector interventions provide minimum
learning opportunities and continuation of education for the conflict affected and vulnerable children, in
and out of school, to mitigate the impact of war and other emergencies.
The education sector will focus in promoting the capacity of government counterparts, communities, local
and grassroots organizations to retain and increase access to quality education that provides effective
learning experience and holistic support for 706,303 school age children living in vulnerable situations. It
also focus in reaching and protecting 176,000 children, youth and adolescents out of school through
providing access to quality alternative/non formal education opportunities with consideration to their
learning and livelihood needs. The targets will include the most vulnerable groups: IDPs, returnees,
refugees, girls, nomads, host/rural underserved communities.
Objectives:
1. ACCESS: Increase access to life-saving education for the most disadvantaged and vulnerable pre-
school and primary school age children (including IDPs, returnees, refugees, nomads and host/rural
underserved, especially girls).
2. QUALITY: Improve quality of education and learning experience in conducive environment for the
most disadvantaged and vulnerable pre-school and primary school age children (including IDPs,
returnees, and refugee children, especially girls.
3. OUT OF SCHOOL: Increase access to quality non-formal/alternative life and livelihoods skills-
based learning opportunities for children, youth/adolescents at risk/out of school and adults.
Priorities:
 3 Darfur States  Construction/rehabilitation of safe and secured schools (classrooms and
 South Kordofan State other facilities).
 Blue Nile State  Provision of learning materials and other educational supplies,
 Abyei  Facilitate school feeding program.
 3 Eastern States  Strengthening the capacity of teachers and other education personnel,
 Khartoum IDPs  Strengthening the school management and emergency preparedness
capacity of Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs),
 Support the government counterparts in education management, planning,
data and information collection and analysis,
 Strengthening the capacity of the cluster/sector partners, local and
grassroots organizations.
 Ensuring provision of life-skills learning for improved health, nutrition,
hygiene, HIV, environment and protection.
 Support alternative learning opportunities for out of school youth and
adolescents.
Nutrition Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Decrease mortality and morbidity related to malnutrition through evidence based
treatment and prevention of malnutrition; and capacity building of governments and of communities to be
able to respond to existing and emerging nutrition problems.
Rationale: Nutrition status across all of northern Sudan remains fragile. Localized surveys in Darfur
show global acute malnutrition rates range from 11.1% to 29.8%, well over the emergency threshold of
15%. Factors impacting on the nutrition levels are suboptimal infant and young child feeding practices,
food insecurity and limited access to health and WASH services, exacerbated by conflict related
insecurity and tribal fighting which have seen large numbers of people displaced and large numbers
remaining inaccessible in regions such as East Jebel Mara. Already vulnerable populations are at greater
risk of malnutrition and disruption of livelihoods in 2011.
High levels of malnutrition will cause morbidity, mortality, physical productivity and cognitive growth in
children unless there is a continued substantial investment in nutrition and in other sectors such health,
water and sanitation, in addition to improvements in food security. Yet, public financial support of
nutrition is insufficient, which impedes the Ministry of Health’s (MoH) ability to fully sustain curative
and preventative nutrition services without considerable outside support.
The nutrition cluster working with MoH will scale up existing life saving treatment of acute malnutrition
programs (through Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP), Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP), and
Stabilisation Centre (SC) and or through Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) The
nutrition cluster will also capitalize on high impact low cost interventions such as breast feeding,
complementary feeding and Vit A supplementation targeting children, pregnant and lactating women and
older people while building the capacity of national institutions for sustainable change
Objectives:
1. Contribute to the strengthening of MoH and partners capacity to identify, prepare for and respond
to and mitigate nutrition problems in emergencies;
2. Contribute to improved access to acceptable quality of care and treatment of acute malnutrition

Mine Action Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: To release land contaminated by landmines and other Explosive Remnants of War
(ERW) and to ensure unimpeded access along priority routes and in high-density communities by clearing
mine fields. To facilitate humanitarian activities, reduce the risk of mine-related casualties and strengthen
the capacity of official and local partners to address the impact of mines and ERW.
Rationale: More than twenty years of conflict has left Sudan with a threat of other ERW. Mines were
laid on routes, in villages, wells and arable land. Mined roads led to road closures, with many roads not
being used for the past 20 years. The priority of the United Nations Mine Action Office (UNMAO) has
been to open primary and secondary routes and to release land in order to reduce mine-related casualties
among at-risk populations (including returnees, IDPs and refugees).
A new strategic focus is the building of national capacity for mine action coordination through the
National Mine Action Authority (NMAA) and the Southern Sudan Demining Authority (SSDA). The
adoption of the Mine Action law in February 2010 has sped up the process and given local mine action
authorities increased legal support. UNMAO has increased its support towards the strengthening of
management capabilities among the SSDA, National Mine Action Centre (NMAC) and national NGOs.
Training in coordination and implementation has been initiated and are being carried out to create a
sustainable local capacity to eventually take on the coordination role of all mine action activities by June
2011. UNMAO has strengthened coordination with local NGOs. UNMAO has enabled direct applications
and direct submission of projects under the 2011 Humanitarian Work Plan to increase capacities of local
NGOs for planning and resource mobilisation, and effort linked directly to the first strategic priority for
the 2011 Humanitarian Work Plan. This will create and develop a sustainable capacity able to ensure
protection of vulnerable populations, contributing to the second strategic priority of the Humanitarian
plan as well.
This sector has declared more than 43,000 kms of roads opened through assessment and clearance, over
64 million square metres of land released to September 2010 in over 630 hazards cleared. The main areas
of contamination in northern Sudan are the Eastern States (Red Sea, Gedaref and Kassala) along the
eastern borders with Eritrea and Ethiopia, Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile State. Landmine
contamination in southern Sudan is concentrated in the three Equatoria states and Jonglei along roads and
in villages, wells and on land used for grazing and agriculture. A mix of survey, clearance and mine risk
education assets has been deployed to assist peacekeeping operations and enhance the safety of local
populations for the 2010-2011 demining season.
Objectives:
1. Facilitate free, safe movement for UN mission related and humanitarian operations
2. Reduce the risk of injury from landmines and other ERW and facilitate the reintegration of victims
through targeted mine risk education and victim assistance interventions
3. Strengthen and support the management and operational capacities of national authorities and
implementing partners to address the socio-economic impacts of landmine/ERW contamination.
Priorities:
 Northern Sudan: Eastern States, 1. Release of land through survey and clearance of minefields,
Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile dangerous and suspected hazardous areas and routes
States 2. Deliver relevant, useful information on the situation and risks of
landmines and other ERWs to IDPs, returnees and other at-risk
 Southern Sudan: Central Equatoria, populations, to promote safe behaviour among these target groups
Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei, Northern 3. Provide support to mine and other ERW survivors or with
Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile, Western disabilities in terms of social reintegration, health, psychological and
Equatoria, Western Bahr el Ghazal economical empowerment and promote awareness of their rights
provided by laws and conventions in the Sudan.
4. Strengthen the management of the SSDA, NMAC and national
NGOs in view of creating a sustainable local capacity
Non-Food Items & Emergency Shelter Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Support populations affected by conflict and natural disaster, as well as returnees and
other vulnerable groups, through the timely provision of life-saving household items and emergency
shelter based on assessed needs.
Rationale: The situation in Darfur continues to rely on life-saving humanitarian aid provided by the
international community. In 2009, the number of internally displaced people in Darfur was just below 2.7
million people, with an additional 116,000 newly displaced households during the first half of 2010.
Large numbers of unverified newly displaced are reported outside camps, and some 9,000 refugees are
living in camps in Darfur. Some 90,000 refugees are also living in camps in Eastern Sudan. The
referendum in early 2011 poses significant challenges as preliminary contingency planning suggests the
possibility of large displacements.
The sector provides most of its support via an NFI Common Pipeline jointly operated by WFP, IOM and
UNICEF. Ongoing management of stocks ensures the sector is prepared for existing and unforeseen
emergency humanitarian needs (SO1). The sector strives to continually improve our programmes and
adapt them to the evolving needs of IDPs, towards finding more durable solutions. Key is implementing a
needs based approach to the provision of NFIs, whereby limited stocks of NFIs available are effectively
targeted to those in need. However, the items provided are temporary and not long-term solutions. As
such, replenishment is necessary to support protracted displacement. It is also vital to have stocks
available to support new displacements and to effectively respond to seasonal flooding, and it is essential
to have stocks positioned in key hubs throughout the country for rapid intervention. The large caseload
supported by this sector requires effective coordination to maximize economies of scale and provide
uniformity in aid delivery, minimizing gaps and overlaps in activities and geographical coverage.
International procurement lead times for non-food and emergency shelter stocks range from 3 to 6
months. As the seasonal rains hit in June in North Sudan, funding must be secured by January for the
stocks to be in country and then effectively pre-positioned throughout the region. As a result, the push for
early funding for procurement and positioning was key to effective response in many locations in 2010
and will continue to be instrumental in an effective response in 2011. In addition, funding and
procurement has already commenced for the expected higher levels of newly displaced caseloads related
to the January referendum in Darfur, and the three transitional areas.
Recent changes in assessment and distribution criteria will allow us to better serve those in dire need
while also reducing the dependency of those with alternative coping mechanisms, and strengthening their
ability to live in a safe and dignified environment. The sector also works with the Returns Working Group
to assist returnees, undertaking needs assessments for NFI support based on IOM/RRWG endorsed
caseloads that satisfy the voluntary and appropriate criteria.
The sector conducts routine capacity training for our partners including an annual 2-day training course in
the three Darfur state capitals and specific training for partners in the field. This is part of our transition
from what was a largely INGO operation to one that is now more NNGO focused where local knowledge
has enabled the sector to reach further into remote areas and be more effective in supporting those in
need. In South Darfur implementing partners are now mostly national organisations. This has also
contributed to creating more durable local solutions and increased self-reliance among communities
(SO1).
The sector focuses mainly in Darfur, having handed responsibility and assets for the rest of North Sudan
back to the Government. However, we remain an active participant in Government fora concerning these
regions, and provide a significant level of information to partners and the humanitarian community,
contributing to overall awareness and preparedness planning (SO1).
The sector has numerous partners working with communities to develop more durable housing solutions
that better reflect the changing situation in Darfur, increasing self-reliance and reducing damage to the
environment (SO3). In early 2011, an external review of our operations will be conducted to look at the
pipeline and provide advice on how to better achieve our aims and objectives.
Objectives:
1. Provide needs-based, timely NFIs and emergency shelter to vulnerable populations including
those affected by conflict and disaster, returnees.
2. Facilitate coordination, timely information sharing, and capacity building amongst all partners
and stakeholders in the sector.
3. Expand the provision of environmentally-friendly and locally acceptable emergency shelter,
using regionally produced and/or externally sourced materials.
Priorities:
 North Sudan  Immediate, life-saving response to emergencies and new displacements.
 Replenish key items to populations that remain displaced.
 Support to returnees, both spontaneous and organized, in accordance with the returns
framework.
 Ongoing identification and coordination of temporary and permanent solutions for
gaps and overlaps in activities and geographical coverage.
 Secure early funding for timely procurement of essential stocks and support to all
other sector activities.
 Promote use of environmentally-friendly shelter materials and alternative building
techniques.
 Continue to build partners’ capacity especially NNGOs and local counterparts.
 Protocol Areas  Remain on standby to support GoS, Civil Defence and HAC in their response to
 Eastern Sudan emergencies in a finite capacity and as provider of last resort.
 Khartoum State
Basic Infrastructure and Settlement Development Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Provide infrastructure construction and rehabilitation services and build the skills and
capacity of government and communities in basic infrastructure and community development activities
which will increase access to basic services and establish the foundations for re-settlement programmes.
Rationale: Sudan nationwide needs all-weather transportation networks and settlement development to
improve the daily life of Sudanese returnees and host communities, ensure links to productive areas and
markets, provide income generation opportunities, and enable access to basic services and facilitate
population movements. This sector will accomplish this through road and airstrips rehabilitation,
construction and maintenance, as well as labour-intensive shelter programmes for displaced persons,
returnees and urban poor, especially along the North – South border. These activities will also improve
access for humanitarian operations throughout the year.
In 2011, the priority of the sector will be to strengthen (i) transportation networks, facilitating access to
basic services, markets and agricultural production areas, and security of population movements and
humanitarian operations; and (ii) settlement development in high returnee and IDP areas, flood-prone
areas and main city slums housing the most vulnerable and urban poor.
Objectives:
1. Support communities and local authorities in building settlements (villages/IDP camps) through
infrastructure works with focus on the most vulnerable population.
2. Expand physical access to basic services and markets by constructing, rehabilitating and
maintaining transportation networks.
3. Ensure humanitarian access to at-risk populations by repairing on an emergency basis, airstrips,
bridges and roads.
Priorities:
 Khartoum State  Reconstruction of dilapidated shelters using Soil-Stabilized Blocks (SSBs) and
of weak and broken down bridges, as well as clearing of flood water drainage
systems / canals in IDP camps.
 Training of local authorities and community on flood emergency preparedness,
SSBs and slum upgrading/settlement planning.
 Eastern Sudan and  Shelter and community development centres construction as well as
Darfur rehabilitation of markets
 Training of community members in hazard resistant constructions, SSBs and
natural disaster management.
 Improve small-scale stream crossing points and rehabilitation of 150 Kms of
roads
 Draught mitigation infrastructure (i.e. dams in Darfur) and River flood
protection infrastructure (River Gash in East Sudan)
 3 Protocol Areas  Rehabilitate/construct 862 km of roads and 18 bridges as well as provide
training and tools for maintenance.
 Rehabilitation of airstrips of Kurmuk (BNS), Agok (Abyei) and Kauda and
Talodi (SK).
 River boats construction (Abyei).
 Shelter and community development centres construction (BNS) as well as
rehabilitation of market in Agok
 Training of community members in hazard resistant constructions, SSBs and
natural disaster management (BNS)
Coordination and Common Services Sector Brief

Sector Purpose: Improve the overall operating environment for humanitarians through advocacy,
strengthened coordination, and systematized information management; improve the efficiency of
humanitarian programmes through common services that reduce indirect costs through increased access
to common transport services, expansion of mapping services and provision of security advice and
support; strengthen early warning systems and preparedness; and manage common services that enable
humanitarian action and reduce the time it takes to reach at-risk populations.
Rationale: Robust and effective coordination will be critical in Sudan during 2011 due to the number of
humanitarian organizations working throughout the country and the diversity of needs they seek to
address. Insecurity, poor infrastructure, seasonal constraints and the paucity of data are additional
challenges that may frustrate effective humanitarian programming.
In 2011, the sector will work towards improved and more effective coordination, information
management, greater access to and availability of reliable and low cost logistics support, strengthened
mapping capabilities, and coordinated security information.
The sector is supported by a number of humanitarian coordination mechanisms within Sudan. The cluster
approach was endorsed in November 2008, rolled out in Darfur in June 2009 and in southern Sudan in
2010. Complementing the operational coordination mechanisms, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT)
provides overall leadership and policy guidance on key humanitarian issues, while supporting
opportunities to transition towards recovery and development in Sudan. The HCT includes members from
the UN, INGO Steering Committee and donors, with the Red Cross movement as observers. The joint
Government and humanitarian community forum that addresses specific programmatic, security and
procedural issues related to Darfur is the High Level Committee (HLC). The HLC was expanded in 2010
to include State level sub-committees
Priorities:
 3 Darfur States  Support the implementation of cluster approach for 7 clusters: Education;
Food Security and Livelihoods; Health; Non-Food Items and Emergency
Shelter; Protection; and Water and Sanitation.
 All Sudan  Provision of safety advice and training.
 Provision of humanitarian air transportation.
 Ensure effective emergency preparedness and response by coordinating
early warning systems and sectoral interventions.
 Improve the efficiency of humanitarian programmes by providing common
services that reduce indirect costs.
