However, the number of potentialbeneficiaries has increased as the scope of the problem hasmost likely increased given current levels of fighting and thereported use of landmines as well as the presence of ERW. Inaddition, INGOs are finding it increasingly difficult to establishnew sub-offices or work in the eastern states or Darfur. Therefore,the international presence has been limited in these areasand implementation or monitoring and evaluation of projectshas not fully been possible.Achievements as of 15 May 2012àTargeted beneficiariesCategory Female Male Total Female Male TotalIDPs and returnees 115,930 133,850 249,790 115,930 133,850 349,780Refugees all Sudan 66,350 97,650 164,000 66,350 97,650 164,000Host communities 435,963 494,609 930,572 196,290 114,217 310,507Total 618,243 726,109 1,344,362 378,570 345,717 724,287Innovative MRE techniques that are tailored to the dialectsof local population and also aimed at children have helpedincrease the effectiveness of MRE. These techniques includepuppet shows, drama performances and radio programmesbroadcasted throughout the country. Furthermore, the MineAction sector worked together to launch a 24-hour MineAction Hotline (1912) that allows anyone in Sudan to report apossible mine/ERW threat free of charge.In addition, national counterparts have taken the full lead onorganizing International Mine Action Awareness Day on 14 April2012 with support from UNMAS, UNAMID Ordnance DisposalOffice (ODO), UNICEF, and the Zain Corporation (a privatetelecommunications company). The event was a success withmore than 200 participants. The Vice-President of Sudan and arepresentative from the Sudan Ministry of Defence attended.It included entertainment and an art exhibit on mine action. Itwas broadcasted on a popular talent television show in Sudan,‘Noujoum al Ghad’ (Star of the Future).Implementation challengesFunding remains a key issue impeding implementation of theSector Response Plans because of decreasing donor interestand access constraints due to the security and political situationin Sudan making it difficult to move around freely andimplement mine action projects. For example, there is noaccess to South Kordofan or Blue Nile for mine action partnersdespite the increased mine/ERW threats from conflict.Furthermore, the increased limitations by the Government ofSudan placed on international operators in the eastern Stateshave made it more difficult to implement MRE and victimsassistance where new minefields are continually being found.Changes in TargetsThe targets remain unchanged but the number of potentialbeneficiaries has increased as the scale of the problem mayhave increased due to fighting during 2012.Sector Project RevalidationThe Mine Action Sector continues to work together under theoverall direction of the NMAC to ensure duplication of efforts,efficient use of resources and ensures full coverage to theextent possible. International partners always work in conjunctionwith national partners.
