Ed Damazin assessment report
Bayraktar, Nihal | Moreira, Emmanuel Pinto
The objectives of the Community Development Fund (CDF) project funded by the Northern Sudan Multi-Donor Trust Fund are to provide urgently needed local public infrastructure and, in the longer term, to establish the capacities, mechanisms, and procedures in selected localities to enable them to support sustainable, locally-led development. In support of these objectives COWI A/S was contracted through WB/LICUS funding to undertake a capacity assessment of selected localities in northern Sudan. The objectives of the assessment were to: 1) Identify localities that comply with the Minimum Qualifying Criteria (MQC) for accessing funding under the community development window of the CDF program; 2) Identify localities that comply with the Capacity Building Support Access Criteria (CBSAC) for accessing funding under the capacity development window; and 3) Assess the functional capacity needs of localities using the tentative Performance indicators. There are separate assessment reports for each of the 16 localities. The reports are organized as follows. Chapter 1 describes the rationale, focus, and methodology of the assessment in the framework of the CDF. Chapter 2 summarizes key aspects of the policy and institutional framework of local governance in northern Sudan for a better appreciation of the assessment results. Chapter 3 presents the findings on the qualification status of the localities based on the MQC and the CBSAC. Findings on the capacity baseline based on the performance measures are presented in chapter 4. Chapter 5 discusses selected issues arising from the capacity assessments and on this basis presents the conclusions. The indications for capacity building strategies are given in chapter 6.
