Background
The signing of
the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
(CPA) in January 2005 marked the end
of over 20 years of civil war in Sudan,
and the beginning of the recovery
and rehabilitation process in rural
communities across the country. The
war destroyed roads, electricity,
schools, healthcare centres, and water
points, and depleted natural resources.
To help address these recovery challenges,
the European Commission has re-launched
its development assistance with a
€50 million contribution to the
Sudan Post-conflict Community-based
Recovery and Rehabilitation Programme
(RRP). The RRP is managed by UNDP,
on behalf of the Government of National
Unity (GoNU) and the Government of
Southern Sudan (GoSS).
The RRP is designed to link relief,
rehabilitation and development in
conflict-affected rural households
across Sudan. From the outset, emphasis
has been on building the capacity
of the national and local institutions,
civil society and communities, to
ensure the sustainability of the process.
The programme is implemented over
a three-year period, by 48 national
and international NGOs, pooled into
ten consortia. These consortia receive
funds for integrated rural development
projects in ten areas across Sudan:
River Nile, Port Sudan, Blue Nile,
South Kordofan, Abyei, Upper Nile,
Warrap, Eastern Equatoria, Central
Equatoria, and Northern Bahr al Ghazal.
Objectives
•Targeting approximately 800,000
beneficiaries, the programme’s
objectives include three components:
capacity building and institutional
strengthening; improving livelihoods;
and providing support to basic services.
•The RRP aims to build the capacity
of local government authorities (LGAs)
through such activities as administrative
and financial training, building and
equipping administration offices,
organizing village development committees
and directly including LGAs in the
management of RRP activities.
•To improve livelihoods, the
RRP is building vocational centres,
and training people in such activities
as bicycle repair, tailoring, carpentry,
and welding. The RRP aims to improve
food security through agricultural
training activities, and improving
market structures and access routes.
•The RRP will improve people’s
access to basic services such as access
to water, healthcare, and education
facilities.
