The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has announced plans to launch a three-year development project in Sudan's White Nile State, funded by the German Development Bank (KfW). The project will cover five localities, focusing on water supply, healthcare, and shelter.
The announcement came during a meeting between the Wali of White Nile State, Lt. Gen. Gamar Al-Din Mohamed Fadl Al-Mawla, and an NRC delegation at the State Government Secretariat in Rabak. The meeting was attended by the Secretary-General of the State Government, Prof. Salah Mohamed Ibrahim, Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Dr. Limia Abdullah, and officials from the state's water sector.
The Wali commended the role of national and international organizations in supporting development efforts and reaffirmed the state government's commitment to facilitating initiatives that improve basic services.
He noted that the NRC had previously implemented a major water project that helped improve water supply in the southern neighborhoods of Kosti.
For her part, Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Dr. Limia Abdullah said the new project forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen infrastructure and basic services across the five localities through interventions in shelter, healthcare, and water supply.
She added that a technical workshop will be held next Sunday, bringing together government entities and technical partners to identify the targeted localities and establish implementation and coordination mechanisms to ensure the project's successful delivery.
Dr. Limia said White Nile State has entered a new phase focused on sustainable development and capacity building, moving beyond emergency response. She added that the NRC initiative is part of a broader package of development partnerships, including a project to rehabilitate and modernize the agricultural sector in cooperation with the World Food Programme (WFP).
