of Conflict, Resources for Peace: |
 |
With
much of the international media
attention focused on Darfur, there
has been little mention of the longstanding
factors that led to this tragedy.
In an effort to educate and enlighten
people about the underlying causes
of resource-based conflicts in Sudan,
UNDP with the support of the Embassy
of the Netherlands, produced in
2007 this video that tells of the
plight nomadic, semi-nomadic, and
farmer communities find themselves
today. During 11 days, a TV crew
followed camel and livestock herders
from Darfur, South Kordofan, and
White Nile states roaming North
and South Kordofan States desperately
in search of water and grazing.
In addition to featuring their interactions
and confrontations with local farmers
and authorities, this video shows
several initiatives undertaken by
UNDP and partners to help prevent
more conflicts in rural Sudan.

| Support
for access to justice: |
 |
Since
the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
was signed in 2005, UNDP and Southern
Sudan government partners have been
working to put basic governance
structures in place, including justice
institutions. UNDP has been supporting
this paramount task by providing
training, technical advice and support,
and justice infrastructure development.
Filmed in 2006 in Juba, the capital
of Southern Sudan, this short video
shows progress despite the scale
of the challenges.

| UNDP's
assistance to tuberculosis patients: |
 |
Tuberculosis
control is very limited in Southern
Sudan, covering only 25% of the
total population. In its fight against
this deadly disease, UNDP supported
by the Global Fund to fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria is working
to expand tuberculosis treatment,
strengthen local capacity, establish
new tuberculosis units and increase
awareness among the general population
on transmission prevention and how
to obtain care. This 2006 video
filmed in Meyamle town shows some
of the progress that has been made
so far, including the establishment
of 15 clinics operating in Southern
Sudan.

| Training
prison inmates about basic human rights: |
 |
In
light of the disruption caused by
over two-decades of civil war, efforts
to increase male and female inmates
and wardens’ awareness of
basic human rights through intensive
training are more necessary than
never. This video, filmed in 2006
inside one of Wau’s jails,
tells the story of UNDP and partners’
working to improve access to minimal
human rights inside the Southern
Sudan prison; enforcing the Comprehensive
Peace Agreement’s Bill of
Rights, and bringing this region
closer to democracy.

| Dividends
of peace, Benefits of Partnership: |
 |
Sudan
has suffered greatly from two-decades
of civil war in which 2 million
people have died, 4 million displaced,
basic infrastructure destroyed,
in addition to causing families
and communities to splinter and
flee for their safety. With the
signing of the 2005 Peace Agreement,
hundreds of thousands of Sudanese
have returned home to rebuild their
shattered communities. To help the
hard-hit communities to rebuild,
recover, and reap the dividends
of peace, the European Commission
funded the 54,3 million Euro Recovery
and Rehabilitation Programme that
is managed by UNDP on behalf of
the Government of National Unity,
and the Government of South Sudan,
and implemented by some 50 NGOs
across the country. This Video,
produced with the support of the
European Commission, features several
families in the Nuba Mountains facing
difficulties meeting the most fundamental
day-to-day needs, such as food,
water and health. It also shows
that where there was death and destruction
there is now hope.
