FUEL FUEL PRICES IN LITRES / DARFUR CRISIS Khartoum El Fasher Nyala El Geneina El Obeid Port Sudan IG L IG L IG L IG L IG L IG L Diesel Petrol Kerosene JetA Price in Sudanese Dinar per Imperial Gallon / Litre, NB : 1 IG = 4,546 Litres Date 27 Dec - 31 Dec 6. OTHER UNJLC s intervention in promoting appropriate and efficient fuel and energy technology options during the third quarter of 2004 have resulted in an accelerated launch of Trainer of Trainer (TOT) sessions in all three Darfur States mainly during the closing weeks of 2004 under taken by FAO and ITDG. This was further bolstered by individual NGO initiatives (GAA, World Vision International, Islamic Relief World Wide) with many more NGO s and UN agencies expected to follow suite. USAID have pledged to support this and other fuel and energy related projects in the immediate future and will spearhead an inter-agency fuel and energy resources and technology think tank consortium to explore a range of alternative energy possibilities of which UNJLC has been requested to participate in in the near future. The long term problem of program ownership of the fuel efficient stove project has been resolved in El Geneina. UNHCR and UNICEF will integrate the TOT and stove manufacture methodology into their protection and school feeding programs respectively.
