Building Opportunities and Livelihoods in Darfur (BOLD), Darfur, Sudan

摘要

As of the middle of 2004, the conflict in Sudans Darfur provinces had displaced over 2 million people, including approximately 1.8 million internally displaced people (IDPs) in Darfur and 200,000 refugees who fled to neighboring Chad. IDPs dwelt with host communities, in camps or in less well organized gatherings, and most still do. The new living conditions resulting from constant threat of looting and attack exposed Darfurs IDPs to often extreme levels of physical insecurity and enormously disrupted the normal agricultural and pastoralist ways of life. In the camps near the capitals of North and South Darfur large IDP populations gathered in some of the worlds largest IDP camps. CHF International joined the international effort to respond to the Darfur emergency in August 2004. After initial assessment work, CHF began OFDA-funded interventions to support IDPs in the Al-Fasher and Nyala areas in food security, shelter and livelihoods through the Building Opportunities and Livelihoods in Darfur (BOLD) program.
