Sudan ARC responds to basic needs within the nine priority sectors of the Abyei Area Strategic Action Plan. KUSH uses a Sustainable Homestead / Social Capital Model to create the art of holistic community development from the bottom-up. Sudan ARC has nine programs:
Sudan ARC transports people from displaced and refugee camps home to Abyei.
Sudan ARC provides clean water to returnees and host communities. Sudan ARC approaches water management as the basis for community planning. Each homestead has an outdoor tap. Each camp has an elevated tank. Each settlement has boreholes driven by wind turbines. Each homestead has its own rainwater catchments system.
Sudan ARC builds model homesteads, camps and settlements. We are strengthening households and families as the basic units of society. Sudan ARC nurtures this basic level of society where people feel the joys and pains of everyday life.
Sudan ARC helps returnees produce nutritious food. We are committed to producing a range of food at a household and community level to meet local consumption needs first, and then for the purpose of small-scale marketing.
Sudan ARC gives people affected by war a voice for their feelings to be heard. We witness how the displaced were denied participation and representation during the war. By collecting their voices as part of this program, Sudan ARC helps promote a culture of good governance.
Sudan ARC reconciles and heals relationships broken by war using Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR) techniques adapted to the local history, culture and contemporary experience.
Sudan ARC manages Community Service. Returnees build their household assets with community service credit vouchers. In the process, we are mobilizing and training people to assist in the reconstruction of Abyei through public works, like agriculture, clean up projects, and building roads and latrines.
Sudan ARC educates children and adults. Sudan ARC builds modest classrooms for vocational training, and trains teachers within its Community Service Program.
