With CIDA support, Plan Canada is providing emergency health assistance to communities affected by the conflict in eastern Sudan, especially IDPs still unable to return to their homes. The project specifically aims to save the lives of women and children through the provision of Emergency Obstetric Care - effectively providing trained medical staff, appropriate equipment and supplies, and a hospital referral system. Awareness raising activities are being undertaken around reproductive health, family planning, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, gender-based violence and traditional practices which can be harmful such as female genital mutilation and early marriage. Plan Canada aims to reach an estimated 210,000 women of reproductive age (between the ages of 15 and 49) throughout the life of this project.Closed20082010Sudan: 100%Plan International CanadaEmergency assistanceMaterial relief assistance and services(072010): 100%$ 350,000This is a new feature, part of CIDA's efforts towards increasing transparency.
