UN Body Announces $2m First Emergency Response Grant For Sudan(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Education Cannot Wait (ECW), the United Nations (UN) global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises, has announced a fast-acting $2 million grant to ameliorate the impact of crisis and climate change-related flooding in Sudan. The 12-month grant is aimed at providing access to safe learning environments for children and adolescents in the worst-hit flood zones of Sudan. Delivered by the Norwegian Refugee Council, Save the Children and World Food Programme, the investment will reach 64,000 flood-affected children. More than 1 million school-aged children in Sudan are internally displaced, and 4.5 million are food insecure. “Through this emergency response grant, we’re able to help restore hope and a sense of normalcy for thousands of displaced girls and boys in Darfur and Kordofan whose schools have since been destroyed by the floods this year”, he further stated.
