4 Introduction The United Nations Fund for Recovery Reconstruction and Development in Darfur (UNDF) was established to support the efficient implementation of key components of the Darfur Development Strategy in pursuit of the overall objective of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur to support the transition from humanitarian assistance to recovery and development. Specifically, it seeks to: Restore peace, security, and social stability; Improve government functionality at all levels; Strengthen the civil administration; Rehabilitate, reconstruct and construct physical, institutional and social infrastructure in post conflict Darfur; and, Implement a comprehensive structural reform of health and educational institutions, especially Universities, in order to transform Darfur into a developed society in terms of technology, industry, agriculture and trade. After a decade of conflict and displacement, the 2011 Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) strengthened the peace process and laid the groundwork for recovery and reconstruction. The Darfur Regional Authority (DRA), Government of Sudan (GoS) and the international community agreed on the need to have a coordinated and comprehensive strategy for supporting peace and development in the region. In accordance with the provisions of the DDPD, the Darfur Joint Assessment Mission (DJAM) was conducted in the latter part of Informed by the needs and priorities of communities, identified through comprehensive consultative workshops in all five Darfur states and the refugee communities in Chad, the Darfur Development Strategy (DDS) was developed. The DDS offers a sequenced, coordinated and holistic plan for equitable, sustainable and participatory development, which is vital to move Darfur out of a cycle of conflict and poverty, towards a stable and prosperous future. The six year strategy to meet both social and infrastructural needs, totals US$7,245,000,000, with the Foundational and Short-Term (FaST) activities amounting to US$177,400,000. There are four distinct channels to direct the various sources of funding and embed these in the coordination mandate of the Darfur Coordination Board, as follows: 1. Coordinated bilateral funding; 2. Government funding through the national budget and the Darfur Recovery and Development Fund (DRDF); 3. Private investor funding; and, 4. A Darfur Facility trust fund established by the United Nations. The UNDF was established under the overall leadership of the DRA and the United Nations Country Team, represented by the UN Resident Coordinator, and with participation of the Government of Sudan (GoS). All programmes/projects funded by the UNDF are in support 4

5 of, and strictly aligned with the priorities of the GoS and the DRA, as described in the DDS, ensuring full national ownership. The UNDF complements other support that will be provided for recovery and development in Darfur by Sudan s partners and that will bring strategic value in developing capacity and promoting sustainability. The UNDF enhances coherence, transparency and accountability in the implementation of key components of the DDS. The Foundational and Short-Term (FaST) activities The FaST activities are funded through the UNDF and will demonstrate the benefits of peaceful cooperation and bringing people together to sustain the aspirations of a better future for all achieved through the DDPD and the DDS. Together they will ensure that people invest in their future, have a say in the running of their communities, and are equipped with the right tools and skills to make a living. Whether IDPs, refugees or returnees, ex-combatants or host communities, farmers or nomads, young men or women, they are all key actors and decision-makers in the creation of a future Darfur guided by peace, not war, and will be invaluable partners as the FaST activities are implemented. The FaST activities are the initial and immediate actions that will kick start the longer term objectives of the DDS, providing durable development solutions and peace dividends in the five Darfur states. Whilst laying the foundations for longer-term development, the FaST activities will bring tangible results ranging from providing out-of-school children with a new chance at education and gainful employment, water and health facilities, market rehabilitation and microfinance to support local entrepreneurship and trade, to building environmentally sustainable shelters and power supplies to facilitate the safe return and reintegration for IDPs, refugees and ex-combatants. These FaST activities will complement and coordinate with ongoing projects being implemented by UN agencies, GoS and other development partners. They ensure coherence and adherence to the priorities identified through the DDS and close coordination and complementarity amongst the participating humanitarian and development actors. Half of the overall $177 million needed for the FaST activities has been covered so far, to this day exclusively from one country, the State of Qatar, who have generously pledged $88.5 million through the Qatar Development Fund (QDF). 5

6 Key priorities of the FaST activities in Darfur Pillar 1 - Governance, Justice and Reconciliation (figure 2), will be to reduce conflicts related to land, natural resources, arms proliferation and governance. Additionally, activities will assist in building confidence and social cohesion amongst return and host communities, as well as between different tribes, including nomadic and sedentary communities. Pillar 2 Reconstruction (figure 2), will support the recovery and stabilization of war affected populations, whose Figure 2: The Darfur Development Strategy economic and social structure has been severely disrupted. Key results will include the construction and restoration of physical infrastructure and delivery of basic services, including transitional shelter, schools, health facilities and hospitals, provision of water, community policing, as well as linking communities and markets, promoting resource-efficient housing and restoring productive systems. Pillar 3 Economic Recovery (figure 2), will work towards food security and poverty alleviation in an equitable and environmentally sustainable manner. Primarily, this will be done through directly supporting agriculture and livestock based value chains and improving access to financial services for young entrepreneurs and small-scale producers to diversify their livelihoods and establish small-scale businesses. Update This report covers the period 1 st January st March 2016 for the FaST activities which are funded through the UNDF. The 12 FaST activities projects (see Annex 1) are implemented by 13 UN agencies in the five Darfur States of Sudan. Ten of the projects are implemented as joint UN projects, with two or more UN agencies working together. 6

7 A Referendum took place in April 2016 to decide on whether or not the Darfur region will keep its five states or reunite as one entity with a semi-autonomous administration. The result was overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the five States of Darfur: East, West, North, South and Central. In November 2015 a presidential decree had been issued to organise the referendum which is being conducted in accordance with the DDPD. The DRA supervised the Referendum, conducted by the Darfur Referendum Commission (DRC). Figure 3 Official Signing Ceremony for the FaST Activities on 16th February 2016 Key Progress Following the UNDF s Steering Committees approval of the FaST activities and dispersment of funds on December 8 th 2015, on February 16 th 2016, the DRA on behalf of the GoS, and the UN signed the project documents totaling $88.5 million (eighty eight million five hundred thousand dollars) which announced the initiation of the UNDF FaST activities. The agreement was signed in the presence of the Chairperson of the DRA, Dr. El Tigani Seisi, the Minister of International Cooperation, the State Minister of Finance and National Economy, the Chairperson for Darfur Peace Follow-up Office, Ambassador of the State of Qatar and the UN Resident Coordinator, Marta Ruedas. 7

8 Coordination To engage with counterparts and ensure that UNDF FaST projects were presented to the DRA/GoS/Communities in a coordinated and harmonized way a joint UN FaST activities mission took place from 23 rd February 3 rd March 2016 and covered the five states, using two teams. Nine UN Agencies, Funds and Programs participated in the mission to ensure that the authorities were fully aware about the UNDF FaST projects, and to encourage active participation and ultimately assume ownership of the projects. In all five state capitals, courtesy visits were paid to the respective Governors and their cabinets. Technical meetings then followed with the DRA and line ministries during which general presentations were made on the DDS and the 12 FaST projects. Meetings were also held with Community Leaders, CSO representatives, and again presentations were made on the DDS and the 12 FaST projects Figure 4UNDF FaST activities joint mission 23rd Feb - 3rd March 2016 During this reporting period the UNDF Technical Secretariat actively encouraged coordination between projects, particularly regarding the final decisions on locations of activities (annex 3). The project leads and partners displayed a high level of willingness to work together on this large scale both within and between UNDF projects as well as to coordinate with other projects. Coordination has also been ongoing with the local authorities in all Darfur states regarding the locations of activities to avoid overlapping, and enhance synergies. Four localities were identified as prioritized locations (annex 4) for implementation of the first tranche of funding received: Azum (Central Darfur); El Geneina Rural (West Darfur); Kornoi, (North Darfur); and, Mellit (North Darfur). 8

9 Assessments A number of interagency consultative and assessment missions have been conducted by projects, both individually and jointly (annex 5). Joint assessments have taken place in Kornoi, North Darfur and El Geneina Rural, West Darfur, both of which have been identified by the projects and authorities as prioritized locations. The projects will continue to undertake joint assessments to ensure effective and coordinated implementation. Figure 5 Hospital in Kornoi, North Darfur, UN Interagency mission, March 2016 Operational Processes During these early stages of project implementation a number of operational processes have been ongoing, including staff recruitment where required. Invitations to Bid have been launched for some activities, as well as procurement and assessments of local contractors. Key Challenges During the past implementing period the following key challenges and counter mitigations have been identified by the projects: - The DRA, who are the main partners of the FaST activities, seem destined to fold up, following the result of the referendum confirming the existence of 5 separate States. This will lead to some issues with regards to planning of activities. Projects have been developed together with the DRA and the Government Line Ministries to try to mitigate this challenge and ensure that activities will go ahead as planned. - Despite the prioritized localities being conducive for return, not all of the surrounding areas are considered to be without safety and security issues. This has prevented access in some return areas and could, in the future, negatively impact the implementation. The Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) has committed to provide more support in facilitating access to all areas where activities will be implemented. - There continues to be high inflation rates, leading to increased costs of materials, which potentially will have an impact on the overall target figures of some projects. - The first tranche of funding was dispersed to each project based on proportion, rather than actual delivery need (see Annex 2). Therefore, projects that have been 9

10 able to achieve a higher delivery rate during the first quarter are now limited by funding availability. Progress by project Pillar 1: Governance, Justice and Reconciliation 1 Promote Reconciliation and Coexistence for Sustainable Peace in Darfur Main project partners: UN: UN Women Government: DRA, Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, State counterparts The project engineer conducted field missions to East and North Darfur for Peace, Justice and Reconciliation Centres (PJRC) and rural courts and has prepared initial sketches and designs for rural courts and PJR centres to be constructed.
