While the ACT-Caritas Darfur Emergency Response Operation is focused primarily on responding to the needs of Darfur's internally displaced people, it also is helping Arab villages, many of them host communities, as a contribution toward reconciliation and peace.

As South Sudan continues to experience uncertainty and increased tension, ACT members partnered with communities to provide assistance including water and sanitation services, food security programmes, primary health care and education support. Water programmes resulted in much healthier communities and the time that used to be spent searching for water is now being used for farming and other household chores – hopeful steps in the midst of the larger and immensely challenging reconstruction process.
