Tearfund UK ("Report on the Situation of IDPs and Refugees in Northern Sudan: Findings of an exploratory study September 2002 (by Gina Bekker)") [#12484],  [ID 13116]

"Tearfund UK has funded partner agencies in both northern and southern sectors of the Sudan
in a range of relief, development and capacity building activities since 1972. In response to
the Bahr Al Ghazal famine in 1998, Tearfund established an emergency response operation in
the southern sector of OLS. In 2000 Tearfund will continue to support partner agencies both
for development and emergency operations. It will also maintain its operational response,
focussing on areas of recurrent insecurity and displacement, seeking to save lives, reduce
suffering and increase the resilience of communities to further disaster. Tearfund’s
operational response will focus on nutritional support, food security activities, non-food item
relief distributions, water supply and basic community health education."
