Community-Led Innovation for Peaceful Coexistence
Gedaref
Running now: a community-led innovation programme for peaceful coexistence in Gedaref, under NPA's Norad framework.
Our work
Seven years. Twenty-three funded projects. Every one reported.
Since 2019 we've managed over USD 441,500 across Gedaref, Kassala, Blue Nile, and South Kordofan. USD 341,000 of it independently audited, four years running, every completed project reported to donor standard.
The list below is the whole portfolio, not a highlight reel. It runs from the murals we painted on neighbourhood walls in 2019, before a single grant arrived, to a USD 35,000 peaceful-coexistence programme running now with Norwegian People's Aid. Peacebuilding sits at the centre of all of it. Around that we deliver WASH, child protection, basic health, and rapid humanitarian support, because a family that has just been displaced needs water before it needs a dialogue forum. We sequence the two so each makes the next possible.

Our fullest single programme
Our fullest single programme was Enhancing Social Cohesion and Culture of Peace (T-GED008), USD 130,000 through DT Global under the USAID TEPS framework, across Gedaref and Kassala in 2024. It reached 12,028 people directly, delivered 97,785 litres of clean water, treated 3,956 through its clinics, and ran arts and cohesion events for more than 3,400. We reported what slowed it down alongside what worked.
