Mubidaroon’s 5 Lessons From Working in Sudan:

1. Working with volunteers in Sudan has been very effective, both for saving time and money
2. In their project implementation it is most effective to deal directly with beneficiaries in the local community
3. Strong partnerships with other organisations have helped both with information exchange and as they can benefit from capabilities of other organisations
4. Theatre can be a very effective method of conveying messages
5. It is vital get communicate with local NGOs already working in a region to benefit from their local knowledge.

Mubidaroon’s conflict resolution often focuses on local disputes which have the potential to escalate. For one example, in the Soda region Mubidaroon have managed to resolve what had been an ongoing dispute between pastoralists and famers in marketplaces.
