Abstract

The main focus of this study is on the administrative challenges of the displaced people in Darfur, in general, and Al-salam camp in North Darfur State (AL- Fasher Town) in particular, as the case study. The objective of the study is to project those existing administrative challenges and the prospective ones, in the foreseeable future, in the realm of voluntary return and re-settlement. To achieve these ends, the study adopted a number of scientific methodologies. Of these, was the historical approach, for studying the historical background of the displacement phenomenon and the experience of camps administration. Likewise, the statistical approach, the descriptive approach, the analytic approach and the case study approach were used to reach precise findings. The study adopted some research tools, such as observation, the questionnaire method, the interview technique and the listening meetings. Accordingly the study found out that there are several administrative challenges which confront the administration of camps. Some of these challenges are purely administrative organizational. Others are related to the tribal and ethnic structural factors, while some are of national, regional and international political nature. The research contained four chapters, chapter one constituted the theoretical framework. It handled the displacement concepts and definitions and its experiments on the international level. Chapter tow dealt with the study area and the experience of Darfur in the administration of displacement and camps, together with the description of the camps which formed the case study at Alfasher Town. Chapter three contained the discussion of the data. Chapter four contained the findings, the deductions, recommendations and conclusion. The study recommended that the scientific administrative approaches must be activated, in the work of the organizational structure, which depends on the determination of objectives and the required activities, so as to achieve these objectives. These activities may be divided in to cohesive work groups, the determination of the relations of these groups with each other, the documentation and recording for all administrative activities, (such as minutes for meetings, periodical reports and the visitors register etc). There is also, the participation of displaced in the various services committees (especially women, for their traditional historical status), the enhancement of the role of the local administration, through their participation in the various administrative activities. The study also, recommended the activation of specialized administrative training for displaced people camps administrative cadres. In addition, an early warning system should be installed, as the situation in Darfur in general and in this state in particular is fragile, as far as the natural factors and the results of the crisis and its future consequences are concerned. Over and above, there is a need to activate the national and local voluntary organizations, through providing them with the required financing, with the possibility of the employment of the capacities of the international agencies and organization
