dedicated to the rebuilding of social linkages, particularly in remote places, which are still
scarred by tension or conflict.

rehabilitation programmes in Equatoria region. ACORD works in the field of development
and rehabilitation. Currently it has four programmes, in Port Sudan and Kassala (Microfinance
