SOS Sahel Sudan

SOS Sahel Sudan is an experienced local NGO with a vision of peace and prosperity for all in Sudan. In North Darfur State we work in several localities focusing on natural resources management (NRM) and prevention of conflicts over natural resources for improved livelihoods and poverty reduction.

SOS Sahel Sudan provides improved seeds, provides tools for 600 farmers in deserted and semi-deserted areas. We train the farmers theoretically and practically to increase their yield through Farmer field schools approach (FFS). We carry out 5-8 training sessions for each group of 25-30 farmers. Despite this intervention, we observe the poor crop yield.
