4INTRODUCTION UNITED NATIONS AND PARTNERSMID YEAR REVIEW | SUDAN WORK PLAN <strong>2012</strong>In Darfur, humanitarian organizations have access to <strong>the</strong> majority<strong>of</strong> people in need <strong>of</strong> assistance. However, areas under <strong>the</strong>control <strong>of</strong> armed opposition movements are largely inaccessible;humanitarian organizations have not been allowed totransport essential humanitarian supplies into <strong>the</strong>se areas.Meanwhile, increased restrictions have been imposed on <strong>the</strong>travel and movement on humanitarian personnel during <strong>the</strong>first half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year. The Government announced that additionalprocedures are now required <strong>for</strong> humanitarian personnelto travel with <strong>the</strong> UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS),and this resulted in <strong>the</strong> suspension <strong>of</strong> some UNHAS flights in<strong>the</strong> first half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year.There are also serious concerns over humanitarian funding <strong>for</strong><strong>Sudan</strong>. Only 43% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overall funding requirements <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>2012</strong> HWP have been met at <strong>the</strong> mid-year point, compared to55% and 52% in 2011 and 2010 respectively. This significantdrop in humanitarian funding comes at a time when humanitarianneed remains high in <strong>Sudan</strong> and may even increase in <strong>the</strong>near term. The reduction in funding is a direct reflection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>lack <strong>of</strong> humanitarian access to vulnerable people and growingrestrictions on how assistance is delivered, as well as competingregional priorities. Decreased funding is having a tangibleimpact across sectors. Key life-saving sectors such as healthand nutrition are 29% and 38% funded respectively, while funding<strong>for</strong> Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) activities is only15% funded. Only 15% <strong>of</strong> required humanitarian funding <strong>for</strong>livelihoods activities has been received even though this is akey part <strong>of</strong> building resilience among vulnerable people andfinding durable solutions <strong>for</strong> displaced people. As a result <strong>of</strong>this funding drop, many humanitarian organizations have been<strong>for</strong>ced to scale back or even discontinue <strong>the</strong>ir operations in<strong>2012</strong>.Despite <strong>the</strong>se challenges, humanitarian organizations haveplayed a crucial role in providing life-saving assistance tovulnerable populations and creating opportunities to movebeyond emergency relief in <strong>2012</strong>. Over 1.9 million peoplereceived food assistance including through programming thataims to build self-sufficiency, while over two million peoplehave sustained access to safe water supply. Nutrition and healthpartners have worked closely with Government counterpartsto ensure people have access to functioning health facilitiesand basic medical treatment. Building <strong>the</strong> capacity <strong>of</strong> nationalorganizations underpins humanitarian action in <strong>Sudan</strong> -- virtuallyevery international humanitarian organization is working totransfer <strong>the</strong>ir experience and knowledge to Government lineministries and national partners and will continue to supportand complement national ef<strong>for</strong>ts moving <strong>for</strong>ward.1Contribute to timely and effective humanitarian responsethroughout <strong>Sudan</strong>.2Promote and facilitate durable solutions, empoweringpeople and communities by reducing aid dependence.3Build capacity <strong>of</strong> national actors to address humanitarianneeds in <strong>Sudan</strong>.The UN and its Partners requires $594 million to meet humanitarianneeds during <strong>the</strong> remainder <strong>of</strong> <strong>2012</strong>. This reflects a 1.3%decrease from <strong>the</strong> original <strong>2012</strong> HWP requirement. Sectorshave undertaken a reprioritization exercise <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir projectsbased on <strong>the</strong> current operational environment, includingaccess constraints and funding shortages, to ensure thatfunding goes where it is needed and will be most effective.Addressing humanitarian needs and gradually moving beyondemergency relief in <strong>Sudan</strong> requires a renewed commitmentfrom all stakeholders, including <strong>the</strong> Government <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sudan</strong>,UN agencies, inter-governmental organizations, national andinternational NGOs, local government and communities, aswell as parties to <strong>the</strong> conflict in <strong>Sudan</strong>.Original and Revised Requirements by Sector**em%afàbhjEEkSectorOriginal($m)Revised($m)Change($m)% <strong>of</strong>ChangeBasic infrastructure 47.11 50.85 -3.74 7.9%Common srv’ces / coordination 24.66 24.66 0 0%Education 78.65 80.06 -1.41 1.8%Food security and livelihoods 449.02 430.80 18.21 --4.1%Health 79.98 80.86 -0.88 1.1%Mine action 16.38 16.10 0.27 -1.7%NFIs and emergency shelter 37.44 35.81 1.62 -4.3%Nutrition 51.18 52.69 -1.50 2.9%Protection 74.51 73.22 1.28 -1.7%Refugees 86.65 86.87 -0.21 0.3%Returns and early reintegration 26.17 26.47 -0.30 1.1%Water, sanitation and hygiene 93.98 94.23 -0.25 0.3%Total 1,065.78 1,052.45 -$13.33 -1.3%Humanitarian action in <strong>Sudan</strong> is based on <strong>the</strong> recognitionthat while providing life-saving assistance is paramount, <strong>the</strong>reis also a responsibility to fur<strong>the</strong>r build on national and localresources, as well as support men, women, boys and girls tobecome more self-reliant and resilient, particularly those whohave been displaced by conflict.
