Approach to Sustainable Peace, Livelihood and
Social Protection
2

• I would like to extend The Government of Sudans
  gratitude to the Donors community for the
  continuous support for peace , humanitarian
  assistance and Development , we are looking
  forward for more assistance as we are now moving
  from relief to repatriation and rehabilitation
  and development
• From the past experience we have encountered many
  short falls and impediments in the areas of
• Return
• Mine Action
• DDR
• These shortfalls are many attributable to
  lack of effective Reintegration Programs of basic
  services at the reception areas,

RETURN

• The preparation for the return of IDPs in effect
  had started before the signature of CPA ( The
  Policy Frame Work Agreement July 2002)
• The Government of Sudan , Government of Southern
  Sudan ,UN , Donors and International NGOs agreed
  to join the efforts for return , consequently the
  following mechanisms were established

• Policy Committee
• Technical Committee
• Task Force

4
RETURN

• The Organized Return started early 2005 as a
  joint activity between The Government and UN and
  other Partners
• The Return of IDPs was based on two Surveys in
  2005 and 2006 to identify the wish for voluntary
  return among IDPs , the surveys indicated the
  following findings

• 70 wished to return
• 20 wished to stay at the hosting communities
• 10 did not make a decision

5
RETURN

• Donors The Number of Returnees ( Organized and
  Spontaneous) during the period 2005 2007 was as
  follows

• Spontaneous Return
  1,400,000
• Organized Return
  ,300,000
• Refugees from neighbouring Countries
  ,200,000
• Total No. of Returnees Countries
  1,900,000

OPPORTUNITIES

• The return was a good reflection of the
  successful implementation of the CPA , as the
  CPA was considered to be the corner stone
  reference for the right to return
• The joint efforts of the different partners
  resulted in a successful model of cooperation
  efficiently utilizing the available resources
• The International Community witnessed and
  appreciated the implementation of the CPA through
  this exercise

7
CHALLENGES

• Lack of basic services at the final destination
• Short Dry Season ( 4 Months ) hampered the
  transport of IDPs and Refugees , coupled with the
  poor conditions of existing roads
• The foregoing analysis indicate that for the
  return to take place effectively it will be very
  crucial to tackle the following major issues
• Mine Actions
• Provision of Basic Services, Humanitarian
  Intervention(early recover and livelihood ) at
  the final destination
• Reintegration Programs at the host communities
• Transport and Logistic facilities

Mine Action

• Mine actions are considered to be as very crucial
  for return , as it paves the way for returnees to
  resume their normal life , as well as encouraging
  economic and social development through free
  movements of population , goods and services and
  most importantly giving support for mines victims

Remarks

• In conclusion this cluster had never been
  financed through MDTF .
• The Return programs for IDPs are financed through
  CHF , in addition to the financial contributions
  of GNU and GOSS
• In the forth coming Consortium we hope for
  considerable contribution for this cluster as the
  donors priority at present is funding
  reintegration programs in the South and the three
  areas , hence the return operations will be left
  lacking the necessary funds
