In terms <strong>of</strong> GBV, there have beenactivities related to prevention and response to GBV incidents.The activities have involved IDPs, government <strong>of</strong>ficials, andmedia among others.There is also a lack <strong>of</strong> protection partners in Blue Nile. Therehave also been at times access restrictions in eastern Sudan,White Nile State (Kosti way station) and Khartoum State(departure points).Among other factors, bureaucratic procedures associated withtravel have caused delays and difficulties in terms <strong>of</strong> projectimplementation. In Darfur, the security situation and Governmentimposed movement restrictions hinders monitoring,especially in rural camps, requiring a review <strong>of</strong> monitoringexercises to include remote monitoring. Funding has alsobeen a challenge, and the slow disbursement <strong>of</strong> donor fundingfor the CHF has affected the implementation <strong>of</strong> plannedactivities.Meanwhile, the Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding (MoU) for theprotection <strong>of</strong> separated and unaccompanied children betweenSudan and South Sudan expires at the end <strong>of</strong> June 2012.Changes in TargetsNo changes in targets.Sector Project RevalidationProjects were re-validated based on a sector review <strong>of</strong> thecurrent situation .
