Implemented by UNICEF in collaboration with various ministries of the Sudanese government, including the National Council for Child Welfare (NCCW), the UAE-backed programmes aim to achieve a seamless reintegration of the former camel jockeys into their communities, and boost their productivity through community development projects, especially in healthcare, education, clean water and sanitation.
The UAE's efforts were specifically appreciated for its committed support to initiatives that are generating widespread benefit not only among the former camel jockeys, but to a significant number of other children as well.
Stressing on the importance of the delegation's visit to Sudan, Ameera Al-Fadel, Secretary General of the National Council for Child Welfare (NCCW), thanked the UAE leadership for its valuable help and guidance to the Council as well as to other stakeholders such as the UNICEF.
She added: 'The UAE experience in the field of developing our communities for the benefit of children and their families has evolved as an exemplary model that is worthy of emulation. Currently in its second phase, the impact of the programmes is being felt and appreciated by all target groups.
'It was especially rewarding to see the UAE model being hailed as a best practice initiative by key governmental and charitable organisations as well as members of the Qatar Foundation and its chapter in Sudan through their participation at the Council's awareness workshop for community leaders in Kasala. In the future, we are looking towards a broader collaboration with the UAE, especially in the field of child education.'
Al-Fadel said the co-ordination between the camel racing association in Sudan and its counterparts in the UAE and the decision of using robot jockeys in Sudan based on the UAE experience were some of the valuable outcomes of the delegation's visit.
Bo Victor Nylund, UNICEF's Head of Child Protection Section in Sudan, thanked the UAE delegation for its diligence in evaluating and discussing the projects that have been deployed in various parts of Sudan as part of the second phase of the rehabilitation programme, which is set to conclude in 2009.
He explained the first phase of the programme ensured the formulation of mechanisms for child protection at the federal and state levels. With the support of the National Council for Child Welfare as well as regional entities, several child and family protection units have been established across a number of states, such as Gadarif, Kasala, the Red Sea, and North Cardafan. He added the first phase also resulted in reuniting the former camel jockeys with their families, enrolling them in schools, raising the level of education and the capacity of the schools to accommodate a larger number of the returning kids.
The second phase of the project, which was recently launched, tackles the challenges that hinder the development and protection of children through establishing national and regional mechanisms. It also seeks to further drive the task of reintegrating the children into their communities through global community development programmes that mandate a bigger role to the society for facilitating the process.
He noted the lack of adequate infrastructure in the eastern states is hindering the timely implementation of the projects and raising costs, adding the project of mobile schools for nomad tribes is currently one of the most important challenges that need to be delivered.
During a meeting with the delegation at the National Council for Child Welfare, he pointed out the UAE's contribution to the project has significantly increased the number of beneficiaries among the children.
Visiting the states of Gadarif and Kasala, the UAE delegation witnessed first-hand community development projects in the villages of Mastoura, Dahan and Abou Talha. Welcomed by community leaders and tribal chiefs, the UAE was specially thanked for its initiative to ban child jockeys in camel races.
In Kasala, the delegation participated in an awareness workshop for community leaders, where they were briefed of all progress made in the rehabilitation efforts. The usage of robots in camel races in Sudan was also highlighted.
Mayor Hamdan bin Mubarak, member of the Consultative Council of Kasala state, said the UAE has made laudable efforts in reintegrating the children into the society, and providing them with access to education.
The UAE delegation concluded its visit by thanking the Sudanese officials, including representatives from the Ministry of Interior, the police, community leaders and tribal chiefs of Gadarif and Kasala for their co-operation that contributed in making the visit a phenomenal success.
