Central Darfur

The situation has been tense and unpredictable in Central Darfur State since the crisis broke out on 15 April 2023. The situation was associated with the emergence of gangs, local markets have been looted, nomad settlements burned; insecurity remains high and there are fears among IDPs who became unable to pursue their normal lives, In addition to that fighting spread on the main roads linking Zalingei. Currently, NADA outreach reported that a majority of IDPs who were exposed to grave violations of GBV such as rape and harassment put IDPs women and children at high risk. Large numbers of children are violated and exposed to harmful cultural practices including child labor and recruitment as well as separation from primary caregivers and families, limited access to houses as well and lack of access to water, shelter, health services, and social protection assistance. The gap that was assessed has contributed significantly to the deterioration of the protection situation that already exists while no major physical response is in place to meet the IDPs' needs promptly, hence This intervention is crucial to extend integrated CP and GBV lifesaving activities; there is a huge gap in protection services in the project's proposed locations. This project is designed to contribute to the reduction of protection risks and increased resilience through several carefully designed activities such as provision of MHPSS services, Case management, distribution of DK and awareness raising campaigns and sessions specially designed to address the risks of mines and unexploded ordinance.
