| Description | ||||
|
In late 2009, the Darfur region is still home to the largest humanitarian crisis in Sudan. An estimated 4.2 million people (of a total regional population of 6 million) remain reliant on some form of international humanitarian assistance. Of these, an estimated 2.7 million have been forced from their homes and 3 million rely on the World Food Programme (WFP) for their daily meals. Although the intensity of the conflict has subsided in the past year, continued high levels of insecurity, due to banditry and inter-ethnic fighting, and the constant threat of resurgent conflict means that displaced populations are unable to safely return to their places of origin and must continue to rely on humanitarian agencies to meet their basic needs. CIDA's support of Development and Peace (D&P) in Darfur is helping it to provide access to healthcare and nutrition services for internally displaced persons and host communities in six locations in West and South Darfur through the operation of four primary health clinics and five nutrition centres. Overall, the project is expected to reach an estimated 178,000 beneficiaries. |
