Despite recent political and security challenges in the Sudan, Fund support for  the implementation of the Juba Agreement for Peace in the Sudan and local  peacebuilding remained steadfast. The core of the Fund’s approach is that of financing a comprehensive package of support in the five states of Darfur following the  withdrawal of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur. Many  of the efforts involve community-based conflict resolution mechanisms. Throughout  the five states, in places such as Jebel Moon, El Fasher, Yassin and Jebel Marra, the  mechanisms are improving local security by resolving hundreds of conflicts over  access to land and water and mediating sustainable agreements on future access  between hostile groups such as nomads and pastoralists or between local  administrations and displaced communities. The combined effect of the efforts has  contributed to improved perceptions of security and has encouraged increasing  numbers of displaced Sudanese to return home, as in Graida, in South Darfur, where  security improvements have been driven by a $3.3 million initiative of UNHCR,  UNDP and UNICEF through which new police stations have been built and law  enforcement personnel have been trained. Construction of new health facilities that  serve both nomadic and pastoralist communities and provision of legal aid are  meeting the non-security needs of both host communities and returnees and  promoting durable resettlement by reducing local tensions.
