5/ Assistance to Displaced Populations in Ryad Camp, El Geneina, West Darfur.

• Funding: DAH - French Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  ECHO (European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office)
  UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)
  Saudi Red Crescent
• Global budget: €340,000
• Duration: 7 months (June to December 2004)

This programme, Triangle’s first in Sudan, provided comprehensive aid to internally displaced people in Ryad Camp (the town of Geneina). We built refuges, latrines and shower spaces; implemented a potable water system, collected garbage and managed the overall coordination of the camp.

Having completed the first general stages of camp organisation, Triangle continued working on water and sanitisation, including maintenance and operation works.

6/ Assistance to Populations affected by the Conflict in Bindizi, Wadi Saleh, West Darfur

• Funding: DAH (Delegation to Humanitarian Action –
  French Foreign Affairs)
  ECHO (Humanitarian Aid Department of the
  European Commission)
  FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
  Nations)
  UNICEF (United Nations Children Fund)
• Global budget: €410,000 + $234,000
• Duration: 7 months (April to October 2005)

In April 2005, Triangle started working in Bindizi, an isolated, forgotten area of West Darfur. We decided to work in several domains: food safety (re-cultivation of 3.000 hectares, distribution of equipment and intrants, training of trainers), water and sanitation (rehabilitation of wells, latrines, implementation of a potable water system, hygiene awareness), distribution of non-food items.

Through this project, Triangle also worked on restoring and supporting the conditions of coexistence that had existed before the conflict, and prepared people to return to their villages of origin.

7/ Assistance to Populations affected by the Conflict in West Darfur

• Funding: DAH (Delegation to Humanitarian Action –
  French Foreign Affairs)
  ECHO (Humanitarian Aid Department of the
  European Commission)
  UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)
  UNHCR (UN Refugees Agency)
  FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organization)
• Global budget: €930,000
• Duration: 9 months (November 2005 to July 2006)

This programme continued the activities undertaken in previous projects.
We extended our agricultural activities to rural regions around Geneina and in the Mukjar and Um Dukhun regions in the very south of the country.

8/ Improvement of Sanitary Conditions in Displaced Peoples Camps in Greater Khartoum

• Funding: ECHO (Humanitarian Aid Department
  of the European Commission)
  
• Global budget: €240,000
  
• Duration: 12 months (January to December 2006)

This programme consisted in building 2000 family latrines. The beneficiaries were people from South Sudan who, trying to escape the North-South conflict, had settled in camps around Khartoum. The programme was partly aimed at softening the government’s « planning » process, a ground occupation scheme that resulted in the destruction of many houses and refuges built spontaneously by the displaced.

  MAE (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
• Budget Global:  €1.400.000

• Provide constant technical support to the farmers targeted by the project, on site, and through specific training courses
• Support and develop the local initiatives of small producers (beekeepers, poultry farmers, etc.)
• Support and develop local committees for management of conflicts related to agricultural land (Bindizi) and to issues linked to natural resources management (Um Dukhun)
• Provide 4500 families who are nomadic or semi-nomadic breeders and 4000 small livestock farmers with appropriate access to veterinarian services

3/Assistance to Populations Affected by the Conflict in West Darfur

• Funding:
  ECHO (European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office)
  MAE (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
  UNHCR (UN Refugees Agency)
  FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organization)
  Fondation de France
• Global budget: €1,800,000
• Duration: 10 months (June 2007 to May 2008)

Over the past few months, the political situation in Darfur has shown little sign of improvement and has even deteriorated.
Despite heightened insecurity, Triangle GH continues contributing to humanitarian relief in Darfur where aid is increasingly needed: previously implemented programmes require continuity and heightened displacement have caused a wave of new arrivals in the camps, particularly in Um Dukhun.
This new programme is therefore an extension of our initial project, launched in June 2004, and a new development aimed at helping newly arrived people in camps where Triangle works.

  ECHO (Humanitarian Aid Department of the European Commission)

  FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organization)
• Global budget: €1,200,000
• Duration: 10 months (August 2006 to May 2007)

Launched in June 2004, our action in Darfur continues…

As well as water supply and sanitary improvement, this new phase extends agricultural activities in the Mukjar and Um Dukhun regions, a rural zone of West Darfur, and in rural areas of Geneina. 

Our action also includes an “immediate relief” section dedicated to people arriving from Chad and the Central African Republic. Fleeing their home regions because of troubles directly related to the Darfur war, these refugees are now in Um Dukhun.
