Programme for Sudanese refugees in Sam Ouandja: access to essential services and integration
- Funding: UNHCR
- Global budget: €294,000
- Duration: 12 months (January – December 2010)
In compliance with our strategy in the CAR, and as a natural continuance of the past year’s programme, we are working to help Sudanese refugees adapt to their new environment.
Project aims:
- Guarantee the refugees’ access to essential services
- Contribute to the refugees’ integration and self-sufficiency
More specifically, Triangle G H is:
- Organising the maintenance and daily operation of a potable water station
- Building 2 drill in the camp and establishing a water committee
- Building a latrine for the most vulnerable families
- Running targeted hygiene-awareness sessions
- Restructuring and monitoring garbage collection
- Organising the camp’s primary school and building a play area, tables and benches
- Organising sports and recreational activities
- Supporting creation and follow-up of farming and/or economic groups
- Implementing informal vocational training
- Organising adult literacy classes
- Distributing agricultural inputs
- Drawing up protection reports
- Holding coordination meetings between stakeholders
While ongoing violence in Darfur hinders all possibility of a safe return, the refugees need to integrate locally. However, when aid flows in massively and with no regard to the hosting communities’ needs, such integration is extremely difficult. Therefore, Triangle is focusing on providing an appropriate and measured form of support and building the refugees’ self-sufficiency capacities.
