ARI is establishing its Sudan entry point through two complementary locations: Khartoum as an administrative hub for coordination, capacity building and resource mobilisation; and Tendelti as the field pilot site, where the integrated community, environmental and service recovery model will be tested and refined.
The Sudan pilot is designed as a proof of concept — a replicable model that can be adapted for other conflict-affected contexts across Africa once evidence is consolidated.
