28[2] PROGRESS | sector response United Nations and PartnersMID YEAR REVIEW | Sudan work plan 2012COORDINATION ANDCOMMON SERVICESSummary of updated sector response planmDue to the lack of reliable air transport to areas of opera¬tion,particularly to deep field locations beyond what the UNHumanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) currently provides, thereis a need for safe and secure air transport for humanitar¬ianpersonnel, including medical and security evacuation ofhumanitarian personnel.Lead agency(s)Government leadSector memberorganizationsProjectsFunds requestedFunds requested per prioritylevelFunding to dateContact infoUnited Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS)Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC)ACAD, ACTED, ADRA, Al-Salam, , CRS, ILO, PracticalAction, UNDP, UNHABITAT, ZAWD14 projects$16.4 million (original)$15.4 million (revised at mid-year)$2.9 million (high)$12.5 million (medium)$2.7 million (18% of requirements)Luai Galal, luaio@unops.org; Jeffrey McMurdo, jeffreym@unops.orgChanges in needsThe need for a large-scale humanitarian response remainsin Sudan. Fighting in South Kordofan and Blue Nile duringthe first half of 2012 has resulted in new displacement whilethere remains large-scale displacement in Darfur despite thepossi¬bilities of recovery programming in some parts of theregion.While INGOs continue to scale back their presence due toboth funding constraints and access restrictions imposedby the Government, national organizations are assumingincreased responsibility for humanitarian activities, particularlyin South Kordofan and Blue Nile . There is a need to improvecoordination and build the capacity of these organizations sothey can deliver timely, effective and principled assistance.Achievements as of 15 May 2012The sector supported efforts to accurately assess theoperat¬ing environment for humanitarian actors and improvecoor¬dination. There were 11 HCT meetings, three special HCTmeetings, and five Inter-Sector Coordinators Group (ISCG)meetings. The sector contributed to the further developmentof common services to improve the efficiency of humanitarianoperations; for example, the UN Joint Logistics Unit produced15 logistics support maps during the first quarter. Meanwhile,UNHAS served 7,180 passengers and freighted 57 metrictonnes of cargo to 77 locations (mostly in Darfur) on a weeklybasis during the first quarter of 2012.The United Nations Department of Safety and Security(UNDSS) continued to support the humanitarian communityby provid¬ing timely situation reports, providing security trainings,and performing relocation operations. UNDSS completedseven Minimum Operating Residential Security Standards/Minimum Operational Security Standards (MORSS/MOSS)assessments, seven security assessment missions acrossDarfur, and one security assessment each in South Kordofanand Blue Nile states.Guidance notes are being developed to guide OCHA andpartners to strengthen gender mainstreaming in co-ordinationrelated activities.coordination and common services SECTOR FUNDING REQUIREMENTSLEGENDLIBYARevisedRed SeaFundedRED SEANORTHERN$0.40 m$0.10 mNILE$0.49 m$0.12 m$0.61 m$0.15 mCHADWESTDARFUR$7.12 m$2.75 mCENTRALAFRICANREPUBLICNORTH DARFUR$7.81 m$3.00 mSOUTH DARFUR$7.21 m$2.77 m$7.51 m$2.81 mKHARTOUM$0.61 m$0.16 mNORTH KORDOFANEL GEZIRA$5.06 m$2.07 mWHITE SENNARNILE$0.62 m$0.45 m$0.16 m$0.12 mBLUE NILESOUTH KORDOFAN$6.80 m$7.05 m$2.47 m$6.20 m$2.53 m$2.30 mABYEIREPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDANKASSALA$1.35 m$0.34 mGEDAREF$0.56 m$0.12 mERITREAETHIOPIA

Partners facedrestrictions on access to affected areas and beneficiariesin South Kordofan, Blue Nile and in some parts of Darfur,particu¬larly the areas under the control of armed oppositionmove¬ments. Limited funding has greatly affected sector partners’operations and activities, affecting progress towards the2012 HWP targets and objectives . UNHAS’s financial situationmay become critical by the end of June as they will have usedall received funding and may be forced to scale back operations,which would affect many humanitarian organizations..In terms of funding, delays in donor dispersal of CHF fundinghave held back activities of most partners, including therecruitment of a UNDSS INGO Liaison Officer for North Darfur.Changes in TargetsNo changes in targets reported.Sector Project RevalidationSector coordination meetings, including national partners,were held to exchange information to avoid any duplicationand ensure coverage to the extent possible . Further, projectshave been re-prioritized with only 38% of projects ranked ashigh priority to ensure funding for the highest priority activities.
