Sector Study of Water & Sanitation in the Sudan.

The study was funded by UNDP. The project duration was FOUR months. The study covered three regions of Sudan, in North Africa: Southern Sudan, Darfur and South Kordofan. These areas were the recipients of the largest quantities of aid funding for humanitarian, recovery and development activities, through the 2006 and 2007 Work Plans of the United Nations and its partner organisations like PACT, DFID, USAID & others. The main objective of the study, conducted by way of a sectoral review, was to provide a greater insight into the achievements vis-à-vis the Work Plan objectives, and an understanding of variables affecting performance, including the effects, if any, of the Work Plan process on co-ordination mechanisms, implementation, institutional linkages and community participation.
