UN Resident Coordinator Praises Cash-for-Work Project in Khartoum

United Nations Resident Coordinator in Sudan Denise Brown commended the Cash-for-Work project implemented by the British organization Human Appeal, in partnership with Khartoum Locality and supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The project provides employment in war-affected areas, focusing on waste removal, environmental sanitation, and street rehabilitation. Brown inspected rehabilitation and beautification works on Mohamed Naguib Street, accompanied by Omar Osman, Director of the Khartoum Locality Cleaning Corporation, and Project Manager Abdulbari Hassan.
Brown said the visit reaffirmed UNDP’s commitment to joint action with Human Appeal and Khartoum Locality, including waste transport, solar power for health centres, preventive health support, and school maintenance.
Osman said Khartoum Locality had accumulated 300,000 tonnes of waste, noting that 60–70 percent has been cleared through partnerships led by Human Appeal. He highlighted the project’s role in improving environmental sanitation, supporting war-affected families, supplying fuel for waste transport, and raising public health awareness.
Hassan said the project distributed 70 waste bins across key streets and has completed 80 percent of rehabilitation works on Mohamed Naguib Street. He added that solar power units were installed at five health centres, four water wells, and three schools.
Hassan said waste transport remains the main challenge, adding that Brown’s visit strengthened the partnership between Human Appeal and UNDP.
