ZALINGEI, Darfur [ACTED News]
ACTED teams in Darfur dispatched heavy machinery and equipment mid-December to begin work on rehabilitation of roads and critical crossing points in Thirej, Abarta and Sullu areas of East West Darfur (soon to become Central Darfur State). Through this initiative, ACTED teams in Sudan will repair/build 10 critical crossing points and rehabilitate up to 25km of feeder roads. The aim of the initiative is to connect communities often cut-off during rainy seasons to essential facilities like markets, schools and health institutions, and is part of a OFDA and CHF supported early recovery and market systems project.
