Sudan Multi-Donor Trust Funds - Phase II

Results as of the end of the project (June 2013) include: (1) the new national currency was implemented in 2007 and the Fifth Population Census was completed in 2008 two key milestones of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement; (2) more than 16 900 government employees have been trained at the federal state and local levels in basic public administration; (3) in South Sudan where no government existed prior to 2005 all 18 ministries have been provided with rehabilitated and renovated buildings – 67 buildings in total; (3) about 200 health facilities have been constructed or rehabilitated across Sudan and South Sudan including the rehabilitation of 47 buildings at the Juba Teaching Hospital in South Sudan which receives approximately 100 000 patients each year; (4) about 566 schools have been constructed or rehabilitated and almost 14 000 teachers have been trained; together with the provision of books and other school supplies this has benefited millions of students across Sudan and South Sudan; (7) clean water was provided to over 1 million people across South Sudan; (8) key medical supplies and millions of bed nets have been delivered across the two countries; and (9) more than 3 000 kilometers of roads were built or maintained in Sudan and South Sudan; in some areas of Sudan the construction and demining of key trade route roads has reduced travel time from ten hours to one hour. This has contributed to a more effective public sector in both Sudan and South Sudan as well as enhanced access to education and to basic services such as health (for example in Sudan the number of births attended by a skilled health professional rose from 19% to 51%).
