Darfur Programme Update Report, Autumn 2024
Since 2004, Sudan has been at the heart of Concordis International's peacebuilding
mission, with a long history of involvement in both Sudan and South Sudan. In 2021, local
herders who had witnessed our peacebuilding work across the border in the Central African
Republic during the dry season invited us to extend our efforts to Darfur. The situation in Sudan has dramatically changed since the war broke out in April
2023, making daily life difficult and dangerous for many. The war has significantly disrupted
community cohesion and livelihoods, with internal displacement and access to essential
services becoming critical challenges. Nyala, the capital of South Darfur, became a front
line of the war. This new reality resulted in immense challenges, yet despite the ongoing
conflict, Concordis has remained committed to its mission, working closely with national
staff and local partners to continue building peace.
