Contribution to Darfur Community Peace and Stability Fund (DCPSF)
The DCPSF is a UNDP administered Multi Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) for Darfur and it has been established at the end of 2007 with focus on the root causes of the protracted humanitarian crisis which is mainly due to the multi-facetted conflict situation. The DCPSF funded projects provide humanitarian assistance combined with activities for community stabilisation and peace promotion. The DCPSF projects are part of the overall Humanitarian Work Plan and of the Darfur Development Strategy. The SCO Khartoum since 2007 is member of the DCPSF steering committee and can meaningfully influence the strategic approach of the fund.
