The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) in Sudan has initiated an environmental sanitation campaign in the Khartoum East locality as part of a three-month, large-scale program. Coordinated with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Khartoum Cleaning Corp (KCC), Phase 1 focuses on seven neighborhoods spanning about 30 square kilometers.
The campaign involves intensive cleaning, waste removal, garbage disposal, public landscape improvement, and enhanced hygiene and environmental sanitation. Approximately 330,000 displaced and impoverished individuals will benefit from these services, with a total cost of QR28 million. A Terms of Reference (ToR) document was signed by QRCS and KCC to define roles, responsibilities, and coordination mechanisms.
The launch ceremony saw the attendance of Khartoum's Minister of Health, Secretary-General of the Higher Council for Environment, Executive Director of the Khartoum Locality, Director of KCC, and QRCS's head office in Sudan. These campaigns are part of QRCS's Integrated Humanitarian Interventions project, which comprises multiple multi-sector humanitarian initiatives to aid affected and displaced populations across various Sudanese states. The projects encompass health, water and sanitation, emergency relief, and education support.
