- Description :
- Tenders are invited for Consultancy Research Durable Solutions in West Darfur - Sudan. NRC is looking for a researcher (or a team of researchers) to develop the methodology and pilot the first round of a longitudinal research, dedicated to durable solutions in West Darfur. Deadline for application is January 13th 2022. 2. BACKGOUND** Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent rights-based humanitarian organization working to protect the rights of displaced and vulnerable persons during crisis. NRC is currently establishing operations in Sudan in line with the humanitarian response plan with strategic programming priorities focusing on Education, Livelihoods and Food Security and Information, Counselling and Legal assistance (ICLA). West Darfur has experienced decades of atrocities, human rights violations and displacement. With a population of 2.3 million people, it hosts more than 300 000 IDPs, 85 000 returnees and a small number of refugees. Nearly all IDPs are considered in need in West Darfur and 85% are facing severe needs, some of whom have lived in camps for over ten years and have been displaced many times. Peaks of violence and intercommunal clashes, the withdrawal of UNAMID and the unaddressed issue of land occupation has plunged communities into cycles of displacement, and undermined their chance to durable solutions. Because of the resurgence of conflict and its records of humanitarian needs, West Darfur is a challenging environment for durable solutions. However spontaneous returns have been witnessed and continue to occur in the State. According to IDP-returnee mapping data undertaken by UNHCR in 2020, West Darfur had about 78,829 IDP returnees, with the majority located in Jebel Moon and Ag Geneina localities. According to an NRC intention survey (August 2021) in the gathering sites, almost all IDPs are eager to return to their place of origin or previous location, but for 99%, concerns over security remain, while a recent Durable Solutions research highlighted that the majority of IDPs in Darfur preferred integration (PBF, 2021) In 2021 in Al Geneina alone, two consecutive attacks in Krinding camps and Al Geneina left 298 people dead and more than 115,000 displaced into Al Geneina-s public buildings and urban lands, also known as gathering sites. These sites have proved to be unbearable and unsustainable ‘solutions- for IDPs, with largely substandard living conditions and low humanitarian services. They have also increased pressure on host communities- scarce resources and forced the repurpose of many essential public buildings (like schools) into settlements. Beyond Al Geneina, the unaddressed conflicts over land and issue of land occupation are a major deterrent to durable and safe returns.
