BCPR/SURGE contingency planning mission Mission Purpose: To assess UNDP’s current programme and operations, with the aim of preparing for an eventual expansion of recovery activities and strengthen its current engagement to support the ongoing peace efforts and establishment of UNAMID. How UNDP Sudan can best fulfil its role in the current context. Assist in developing an appropriate programme strategy, with the view to facilitate an eventual transition from relief to recovery. Review current management and operational capacity in Darfur 4 person team mission was fielded by BCPR/SURGE between September 26 – October 11 to Khartoum and Darfur.

Scenario Analysis #2 Partial peace and growing stability, resulting in increasing numbers of ‘oases of stability’. #3 ‘Outbreak of peace’ among the majority of Darfur’s stakeholders, but with lingering localized conflicts and instability. #1 No formal peace and continued insecurity in various locations, but with opportunities for early recovery in less affected communities. #4 Collapse of current peace efforts and deteriorating security as a result of fragmentation of armed groups and rise of war-lordism.
