Jebel Mara WASH and Health Improvement Project

Now entering its twelfth year, the conflict in Darfur has become even more widespread and unpredictable. Compounded by the rise in general criminality in the region, the humanitarian operating environment has become ever more challenging. The wider Jebel Mara region in Central Darfur was particularly affected and has to cope with a high increase of Internally Displaced Persons.

Strengthened resilience through better preparedness and optimized access to WASH and Basic Health Services will reduce the morbidity and mortality of 78’000 conflict affected IDPs, Host Communities and nomads of Jebel Mara region in Central Darfur.

78’000 conflict affected persons in the Jebel Mara region (IDP’s, host community, and nomads). Amongst them 55% are females.
