Support to the populations affected by the crisis in Darfur

The crisis that has been raging in Darfur for almost seven years remains to this day without any serious prospect of short-term solution. The parties to the conflict have long been multiplied into various factions with variable representativeness, and the bits of political agreements reached during chaotic negotiations have had little positive impact on the realities observed in the field.

This lack of perspective for a solution to the crisis, of course, contributes to the maintenance of the displaced population in a situation of need, and calls for the maintenance of essential services provided to the people. However, seven years of crisis have led to the implementation by aid beneficiaries of various coping mechanisms. Those, even though they are unevenly and diversely distributed, advocate a new approach of aid, in favor of a greater involvement of the various local actors, and ensuring a better durability of the services provided, at least for the long-term displaced people - the newly displaced people needing to remain eligible for more purely humanitarian or emergency aid.

In this context, it is essential to support local capacity for resilience, so that the people benefiting from the aid can contribute to it in a concrete and material way.
