CFO delivers integrated, community-led humanitarian and early-recovery programming that restores access to education, strengthens protection and well-being, builds livelihoods, and supports social cohesion and localized stability.
Restoring access to safe, inclusive and quality learning where schools and universities are disrupted.
CFO supports children in hard-to-reach and conflict-affected areas — including Darfur — and helps war-affected university students continue learning. Solar-powered digital classrooms and satellite-connected learning hubs expand access to safe, inclusive, and quality learning where schools are disrupted.
Helping youth and women translate skills into income through vocational training and market linkages.
CFO invests in vocational training, entrepreneurship, and market linkages so youth and women can translate skills into income. Programs are aligned to labor-market demand and delivered with technical institutions, private-sector partners, and innovation hubs.
Women and girls lead and influence peacebuilding and decision-making through facilitated leadership, mediation and advocacy.
Through the Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) project (Output 3), CFO regularly convenes safe dialogue spaces for at least 100 women and girls to discuss peace, recovery, and protection priorities, and continuously trains 25 women and girls in leadership, mediation, negotiation, and advocacy through localized workshops led by female trainers and community leaders.
Strengthening community-based protection systems for the most vulnerable individuals and families.
CFO strengthens community-based protection systems, including safe spaces, psychosocial support, referral pathways, and risk monitoring, with targeted support in conflict-affected areas such as Darfur.
Protecting health and supporting community stability through hygiene, sanitation and nutrition actions.
CFO supports WASH and nutrition actions — hygiene promotion, water and sanitation solutions, and malnutrition screening and referral — to protect health and support community stability.
A cross-cutting commitment mainstreamed across every sector CFO works in.
CFO mainstreams conflict sensitivity, dialogue, and conflict-resolution tools across education, livelihoods, protection, and WASH/Nutrition programming. CFO promotes inclusive participation and works with communities to prevent and address hate speech and discrimination through awareness, safe dialogue, mediation support, and community-led norms change — ensuring assistance strengthens trust and social cohesion rather than reinforcing divisions.
Whether as a partner organization, university, funder, or volunteer — there are many ways to support CFO's work with women, girls and youth in Sudan.
