UNEP Disasters & Conflicts
UNEP Evaluation Shagra, North Darfur - Sudan
UNEP, together with the EU and the Government of Sudan has launched a new catchment management project in the Wadi El Ku, one of the largest seasonal water courses in North Darfur. This landmark project aims to improve the livelihoods of conflict-affected people in and around a stretch of the Wadi El Ku near El Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur, through the improved management of local natural resources. The area has seen enormous population growth over the past 10 years, and currently it is estimated that well over 700,000 people depend on the Wadi for their water supply and livelihoods (agriculture and livestock). The result is widespread deforestation, falling groundwater levels, and increasing environmental degradation, which in turn erode livelihoods and undermine economic recovery.
