The current conflict in Darfur has undermined livelihoods coping strategies as never before. For the past several years, the international community has focused on life-saving interventions. While necessary as an immediate intervention, over time this can lead to dependency and disempowerment. More recently, agencies have recognized the need for interventions that both meet life saving needs and strengthen the capacity of people to rebuild their livelihoods. Commensurate with this has been a recognition of the need to protect and manage Darfur’s fragile natural environment and the imperative to incorporate this thinking into current and future interventions in the region. Not doing will undermine any future peace in Darfur. From 1989 to 2002, UNDP had been working in Darfur with an integrated rural development program incorporating community development, livelihoods and sustainable resource management in Um Keddada (North Darfur) and Idd El Fursan (South Darfur). Using this local knowledge and its experience in other conflict and post-conflict settings, UNDP will engage in expanding livelihood opportunities and supporting current and emerging livelihood coping strategies in a way that protects the natural environment. The Darfur Livelihoods and Sustainable Resource Management program will initially support the following five key areas of focus: 1. web based livelihoods and natural resource management network, 2. vocational training and employment creation, 3. capacity building of local NGOs and CBOs, 4. life skills training for youth in IDP camps and 5. development of value chains. It will also engage in research and analysis necessary to inform programming for actors engaged in livelihoods programming.
