The poor and the displaced in Khartoum

This situation requires a renewed dialogue between the international community and state authorities on urban development, land management, pro-poor policies of housing support, access to services, income generation for protracted displaced and urban poor. It requires a renewed commitment by humanitarian and, especially, development actors to strengthen their field presence in the poor urban areas of Khartoum, to improve contacts and networking with the existing civil society and community structures and to support authorities in reaching out to the population.

It also requires renewed efforts by donor governments to assist in the mobilisation of resources for longer-term structural interventions for Khartoum's urban poor, including IDPs.
