Description:
March 2021 - An estimated 13.4 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection across Sudan as a result of armed conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition, economic decline and disease. Up to 2.5 million people are internally displaced within the country. Instability around Sudan’s borders has also led to more than 1.1 million people to seek refuge in Sudan, including asylum seekers from Central African Republic, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Syria.
With GAC’s support, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Canada is providing emergency water, sanitation, hygiene and protection assistance for up to 94,185 conflict-affected people in Sudan’s Blue Nile state. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitating and maintaining 20 water systems; (2) constructing gender-sensitive latrines and handwashing facilities in 15 schools, health centers and public spaces such as markets; (3) providing gender sensitive and culturally appropriate hygiene items for internally displaced people, returnee and host community households; (4) providing psychosocial support through mobile clinics; and (5) conducting community mobilization/sensitization on protection issues such as gender equality.
