December 2024 - As a result of the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, Sudan faces a complex and unprecedented humanitarian crisis. This is characterized by massive protection violations, the displacement of over 11 million people and dire levels of acute food insecurity and malnutrition in many parts of the country. With GAC’s support, Development and Peace helps provide life-saving nutrition, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene services, and multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) to vulnerable refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in North Darfur, Gedaref and White Nile. Project activities include: (1) providing nutrition screening and referral services; (2) providing case management, mental health, and psychosocial support services; (3) establishing referral pathways for gender-based violence (GBV) and providing GBV referral services; (4) rehabilitating water points and expanding water systems; (5) constructing and rehabilitating gender-sensitive latrines, showers and handwashing facilities; (6) providing non-food items, including dignity and hygiene kits; and (7) disbursing MPCA to vulnerable households.
