Summary:
- As Non-food Item (NFI) & Emergency Shelter (ES) Sector Lead, UNJLC has been working with partners to develop an effective operational plan for 2009, to be included in the UN & Partners Work Plan. In total, 36 projects were submitted by partners to support the Darfur region. Sector inputs were submitted to OCHA in preparation for the Defenses, which are due to take place mid-October.
- In September, 16,997 households were supported with non-food items from the NFI Common Pipeline in Darfur, of which 53% were disaster affected, 43% were IDPs requiring replenishment, and 4% were newly displaced. 177,448 households have been supported by the NFI Common Pipeline in Darfur year-to-date.
- The Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) is highlighted in this month’s bulletin. SRCS is a key national partner for the NFI & ES Sector in Darfur, with operations in all three Darfur states and including specific coverage of some areas where no other partners operate. Activities in 2008 to-date have included distributions of Common Pipeline NFIs to IDPs requiring replenishments and flood-affected populations, supporting a total of 1,415 households.
- UNJLC encourages all partners to share information about their other pipeline and/or supplementary NFI activities.
