After analysis of the list of National NGOs that have experience with CHF Funding and also have an office in Khartoum with capacity to participate in the CHF Advisory Group, the INGO (International Non Governmental Organizations) representatives  have selected Almanar Voluntary Organization to be a member of the CHF AG (Common Humanitarian Fund Advisory Group)

The UNHCR holds annual consultations with its NGO partners. The meeting is attended by more than 350 representatives and about 200 organizations from around the World. Participants include representatives of small and large, national and international assistance and advocacy  organizations. Sister UN agencies also attend.

The  survey was  to assess the current knowledge, attitudes, and coverage of IDP communities regarding mother and child health and nutrition services, waste disposal, water, and environmental sanitation services at the household and community level.

ALMANAR TWENTY YEARS OF SERVICE, CHALLENGES & ACHIEVEMENT

Dear Friends and Honorable Guests

On behalf of Almanar I thank you for joining our celebration of 20 years of service. Perhaps our organization survived the manifold challenges and frustrations through the past two decades because we remained focused on few basic objectives of serving real needs and empowering weaker groups in society; the marginalized and displaced regardless of their ethnic, linguistic, religious, geographic affiliation.

Networking, Advocacy and Lobbying Training Workshop for the staff and the CBOs of the IDPs in Khartoum state from the 27 to the 29 of March, 2011 at Almanar training hall.

On Thursday, 29 October 2010 Almanar opened a new office in Kadugli. The office launching celebration attended by senior representatives from state government, UN, INGOs, NNGOs and the world bank.

The community therapeutic center expands its services to those in need from three to five days a week. The new progression is bound to increase efficiency and ensure an increase in admission and the treatment of children with malnutrition of Mayo’s vulnerable community.

On Tuesday 20th October, 2009 more than 120 female inmates graduated from a fine arts course held in the Omdurman prison. The fine arts course taught women skills ranging from jewelry-making to purse-making.

The skills learned will hopefully be used upon release to generate income lawfully and reduce the likelihood of future imprisonment.
