The present intervention concerns the Emergency Assistance to White Nile State. It’s designed because the current emergency situation in refugee camps in White Nile State is beyond the capacity of the Government of Sudan (GoS) and its agencies without significant support from the international community. The 2017 humanitarian planned budget for Sudan stands at USD 1.05 billion. By April 2018, only 20% of the total planned budget has been mobilized. Uncertainty remains high about the fate of the severely affected people, mainly women and children. Specifically, the Bank’s intervention will entail providing the refugees with a normal life and reinstating their kids in the school system with full meals while at the same time improving their health status through the provision of health services. The African Development Bank emergency and humanitarian assistance will complement work currently being done by the Government and other donors. The project components are: (i) construction of 4 schools to avoid overcrowding in classrooms, rehabilitate 4 health centers, and construct 4 new water points); (ii) rehabilitation of existing and affected school classroom structures such as latrines, electrical cabling, and water pumps; and (iii) provision of furniture, refurbishment of equipment, reconditioning, and replacement of academic materials.
