Progress made due to a constant presence in Darfur since 2003 and to this strategy helped initiate the transition from emergency to development. In terms of water, hygiene and sanitation, this transition has led to the deployment of the authority in charge of this sector in remote areas in Darfur, and to the transfer of responsibilities in terms of management. Sustainable water points have been established under the supervision of community water management committees, in charge of daily management and fee collection. TGH maintains its presence in Darfur and its awareness-raising efforts to sustain its strategy, which is now accepted by both communities and local authorities.

This multi-year programme is intended to sustain and expand access to water and sanitation by strengthening the capacity of local actors and through community involvement.

Representatives of the WES (Water and Environmental Sanitation) will have their technical and organizational skills strengthened through training, and will be responsible for the management of stores providing maintenance equipment. Water management committees have been created, in direct link with the WES, in order to intervene in the development and support to community social initiatives. Subsequently, training sessions have been carried out, including on organizational management and human resources management, for WES and the water management committees. Continuous monitoring is carried out with the teams in order to provide support if necessary. Finally, communities have been sensitized on the importance of good hygiene practices and the role they play in social development.
