About the data
What Solutions Mapping shows
Solutions Mapping shows projects that help internally displaced people, returnees, refugees and host communities move towards durable solutions in Sudan, for example boreholes instead of water trucking, or seeds instead of food distribution. It shows who is doing what and where, against the eight IASC criteria for durable solutions, and where the gaps are.
The Durable Solutions Working Group (DSWG) maintains the dashboard, with the Durable Solutions Unit (DSU) of the Resident Coordinator's Office in Sudan as secretariat. Organisations report their own projects. Inclusion is a self-assessment by the reporting organisation and does not imply endorsement by the United Nations.
This is not an exhaustive list of projects contributing to durable solutions in Sudan. It shows only projects that organisations have reported to the Durable Solutions Working Group. To add yours, use Add your project, or download the Excel template to add several at once.
The eight IASC criteria
Each criterion keeps one colour and one icon across the dashboard. Grey always means no project, which is a gap. The number of each criterion is shown next to its colour.
| No. | Criterion | What it means | Examples |
|---|
How projects are counted
- A project in several states counts once in each of its states. For state funding totals, its funding is split equally across those states.
- Nationwide projects are not tied to one state. They are counted separately and are not added to every state.
- Funding towards durable solutions is the total budget multiplied by the durable solutions share, unless the organisation reports an amount. The share is self-assessed by each organisation.
- Status follows the dates: a project whose end date has passed shows as ended, and a project that has not started shows as planned.
- "Ending within 6 months" counts ongoing projects whose end date falls in the next six months.
- Fields that an organisation has not reported are left empty.
Sources and clean-up
Projects come from the DSWG list "Sudan DS Interventions" and from submissions through the form and the Excel template.
Before publication, state names are matched to the fixed list of 18 states (towns entered as states are recorded as localities), entries outside the eight IASC criteria are matched to the closest criterion, spelling is corrected and missing durable solutions funding is calculated from the budget and share. Every change is listed in the clean-up log.
Localities follow OCHA's administrative boundaries for Sudan (admin 2). States and localities: OCHA, via geoBoundaries (CC BY 3.0 IGO). Neighbouring countries: Natural Earth. Boundaries are simplified for display.
What is published
All project information is public except the focal point's name and email address, which DSU uses only to follow up on submissions. Public enquiries about any project go to [email protected].
