The ongoing conflict in Sudan has led to the internal displacement of millions, with South Darfur among the most affected regions. In Menwashi locality, thousands of families have been uprooted from their homes, facing food insecurity, loss of livelihoods, and limited access to basic resources. In response, this project—Emergency Farming Support for Internally Displaced Families in Menwashi—seeks to restore food production and build resilience among displaced communities through fast-growing sorghum and vegetable farming.

The 12-month project targets 600 displaced households (approximately 6,000 individuals) and aims to transform their circumstances by providing land access, quality seeds, essential farming inputs, irrigation support, and agricultural training. Each household will cultivate one acre of land with fast-growing sorghum and seasonal vegetables such as okra, tomato, mulukhiyah, and cucumber.

In collaboration with local partners, the project will also deliver hands-on training to 500 women and youth in sustainable agriculture, crop management, and small-scale enterprise. The intervention emphasizes climate-smart practices and community leadership, ensuring that gains are sustained beyond the project period.

Through this initiative, displaced families will produce their own food, improve nutrition, reduce dependence on aid, and generate income through local market sales. By harnessing the agricultural potential of Menwashi and empowering local communities, the project contributes meaningfully to recovery, dignity, and food security in the face of crisis.
