Committee on humanitarian assistance to meet in Geneva

The third round meeting of the Technical Committee on Humanitarian Assistance (TCHA) is scheduled to be held on 14-15 December 1999 in Geneva. Among the meeting’s concerns will be policy and programme issues for agencies working in Sudan, including access to vulnerable populations, security and the continuation of humanitarian ceasefires, humanitarian sources told IRIN on Thursday. The government of Sudan, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M), Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) and Kenya, chair of the Sudanese peace initiative under the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development (IGAD), have been invited to attend.
