The case for drought preparedness: water resource management in humanitarian programming in Darfur

Report of the UNEP mission to review water resource management at IDP camps and host communities in Darfur during February & March 2008

This report summarises the findings of a review of water resource management in IDP camps and host communities in Darfur undertaken by UNEP in February and March 2008. It has been subject to consultation at meetings with the Water Sector in Nyala, El Fasher, and Khartoum and the draft report was widely reviewed within the Darfur water sector by UNICEF, WES and NGOs implementing programmes in the areas covered in the report.

The work builds on the Tearfund report “Darfur: water supply in a vulnerable environment” and it assesses progress made since that report.
