04 July 2012 - UNAMID continues to support development projects in South Darfur

In its effort to support early recovery and development, UNAMID on Tuesday funded 28 quick impact projects (QIPs) in the areas of education, health, water, women’s development and rule of law. The projects are expected to benefit the people of Nyala, South Darfur.

Valued at more than US $420,000, the QIPs are scheduled to be completed within three months by 10 local implementing partners.

Ms. Nwanne Vwede-Obahor, the head of UANMID’s office in Nyala, pointed out that the Mission’s mandate is in line with the planned projects, which focus on facilitating peace in Darfur by bringing about stability through early recovery and development. “We urge you to speed up implementation of these projects for the sake of peace and to benefit your communities,” she said.
