The 2011 Humanitarian Work Plan presents a coherent strategy detailing the humanitarian community’s guiding priorities for the year, and describes sector-specific objectives, activities, and requirements.
In 2011, almost six years since the CPA was signed, with internecine conflict prevalent in some areas, humanitarian needs of beneficiaries have changed. Over the last two years, humanitarian assistance organisations have adapted their emergency programming, in particular in Darfur and southern Sudan, to respond to the evolving needs of IDPs and vulnerable residents. Therefore, in 2011, in sectors including food security and livelihoods, nutrition, health, NFIs, and mine action, assistance will be two-pronged. Life-saving assistance will continue where it is indicated but, in a departure from habitual practice, agencies will seek to strengthen national capacity, preparedness and mitigation against future shocks, and work to reduce dependency, increase self-reliance, and build livelihoods, as part of relief assistance programmes. Programming needs will adjust to these changes, ensuring that humanitarian assistance continues to be effective, but is also as appropriate as possible in the evolving context.
The 2011 Work Plan strategy seeks to prioritize the delivery of essential services within a framework that promotes the emergence of durable solutions to Sudan’s persistent challenges. To that end, sector activities in 2011 will maintain critical relief to people in need, while supporting concrete actions that strengthen the resilience of crisis-affected communities and bolster the capacity of local stakeholders to manage humanitarian response.
