Surveys
- Completed Survey - Sudan

Overview

At the request of UNMAS and the government of Sudan, SAC conducted an Advance Survey Mission to Sudan in June 2003. SAC conducted subsequent planning missions in October 2004 and January 2005. During the January 2005 mission SAC registered with the Humanitarian Action Center, authorizing SAC to operate in Sudan.

As of July 2009, the LIS has been completed. The survey results from sixteen states are documented in a final report available from the link to the right.

Funding

The Canadian International Demining Agency (CIDA) provided the initial funding to begin the survey in the Eastern Equatoria state. Since then, the Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF), through the United Nations Mine Action Service Voluntary Trust Fund, has funded SAC to continue the LIS in Sudan.

Operational Status

SAC hired Damien Vallette d’Osia as program director to establish office and operations for a two-state LIS. Damien was the Quality Assurance Monitor (QAM) for UNMAS for the LIS in Afghanistan, Armenia, and Ethiopia. Memorandums of Understanding were signed with the national authorities in north and south Sudan. Through an international tender the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) was selected as the implementing partner for the survey in Eastern Equatoria and Blue Nile states. The contract between MAG and SAC was signed in March 2006. MAG hired a field coordinator and began recruiting national staff, purchasing equipment and preparing to conduct the preliminary opinion collection. SAC has hired an operations manager and an IMSMA database officer to complete the SAC coordination team. The first state surveyed was Eastern Equatoria and was completed in September 2006. As of June 2009, sixteen states have been surveyed and the survey has been completed. The final report is available from a link provided at the top of the right-hand column of this page.
