SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association which, since more than 40 years, has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters by meeting their basic needs for food, water and shelter. Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI’s interventions provide expertise in the field of access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential area of food security and livelihoods. Present in 26 countries, the SI teams – 3200 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers – intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.
About the mission
With the outbreak of the conflict in April 2023 and forced evacuation of Khartoum and West Darfur (El Geneina), SI was the first international NGO to re-enter Darfur and resume its emergency response. SI is since working in West Darfur, Central Darfur, North Darfur, South Darfur, Port Sudan, El Jazeera, Gedaref et Khartoum, thanks to the support of SHF, CDCS, ECHO, Swiss and DoS. In February 2024, SI opened a base in North Darfur to provide emergency assistance to populations, as very few humanitarian organizations were operational in the state. Similarly, SI opened an office in Zalinegei, Central Darfur in November 2024. Today, activities are being implementing in West Darfur, Central Darfur, North Darfur, Gedaref and Khartoum States across WASH, Shelter and NFI support, Food Security and Livelihood sectors.
In West Darfur, the main share of the portofolio remains WASH with the provision of water through water trucking, rehabilitation of water points/water yards, borehole drilling, hygiene promotion, sanitation (emergency latrine construction, semi-permanent latrine, showers, desluding), solid waste management, WASH NFI distribution, and WASH in Health etc. Besides, SI implements food assistance mostly through the cash and voucher modalities. West Darfur team also implements agricutlural support activities (seeds distribution, provision of tools, training) as well as market strengthening support.
SI is leading the FaSER (First and Second line Emergency Response) – Sudan, in consortium with different international and local NGOs, covering multiple sectors (Food Assistance, WASH, Shelter/NFI, Health, Nutrition and Protection).
Most of the programs are being implemented in Consortium, led by SI, and require strong coordination efforts to provide area-based interventions. SI also has a strong localization approach.
Reporting into the Consortium CoP, the Consortium MEAL-IM Coordinator will lead and manage the consortium level MEAL-IM strategy and management
