Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (STFA)’s Post

#Sudan🇸🇩 has seen violent conflict across many parts of the country for over 100 days, killing hundreds, including civilians, wounding over 5,100, and sending hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes and the country. While talks in Jeddah tentatively move ahead, the need for a more inclusive process (and outcome) remains paramount to meet the aspirations of the #Sudanese people. Our latest research shows that understanding the underlying obstacles 🚧 to a peaceful & #inclusive political transition process in Sudan🇸🇩 is key 🔑 for civilian actors to strategise effectively.

The Role of Youth during the War in Sudan The questionnaire conducted by the YCON showed the effective contribution of young people during the war period, through their answers to a question about the roles they play or played during it. The most important roles mentioned by the participants were: - Raising awareness of the implications of civil war and assisting expatriates who were displaced from their homes and lined up in displacement camps and shelter centers. - Working to unify the voice of the Sudanese under the umbrella of stopping the war and building a state of citizenship. - Working with the Sudanese people to stop the war and put pressure on the parties to open humanitarian corridors to bring in humanitarian aid and other necessities. .........................................................

#Mali ... the Coordination des Mouvements de l'Azawad (#CMA) & Plateforme des Mouvements du 14 Juin d'Alger grouped within the CSP-PSD, proposed on August 1st, 2023 the following to to President of UN Security Council: i) establishment of a new Office for Mali headed by a Special Representative taking over the political & development responsibilities of MINUSMA after its withdrawal; ii) UNSC to examine the implications of the withdrawal of MINUSMA & pay particular attention to the serious imminent risks associated with the potential transfer of MINUSMA's current holdings and thus avoid any provision that tends to modify the arrangements in force; iii) MINUSMA Stabilisation Fund should be transformed into a new UN fund for humanitarian aid and development in the North.

Hope and Progress: ABADEI 2.0 Project Milestones in Afghanistan I am thrilled to share the ABADEI 2.0 project brochure and one-pager on the construction of the Myankoh Check-Dam in Kandahar province. It brings me immense joy to announce that BRAC Afghanistan has successfully implemented the second phase of the Area-based Approach for Development Emergency Initiatives (ABADEI), funded by UNDP. This initiative aims to support Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returnees, with the overall objective of directly and indirectly strengthening the socio-economic resilience and recovery of 19,750 IDPs and returnees in the 14 Priority Areas of Return and Reintegration (PARRs) in the 4 provinces of Kabul, Kandahar, Paktika, and Khost of Afghanistan through an integrated response to their multiple socio-economic needs. This is a significant step towards making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. 🌍🤝 #ABADEI #BRACAfghanistan #UNDP #SocioEconomicResilience #MakingADifference
