3.b.05 World Vision UK

World Vision started operations in Sudan in 1983. Based in Khartoum, for many years major World Vision operations were focused in the south. In 1989, World Vision became a founding member of Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS), a partnership of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and UN agencies designated to coordinate the southern Sudan relief efforts.

Emergency relief operations continued in the south throughout the 1990s with World Vision also expanding its operations into primary health care, water provision, agriculture, local grain purchase and enterprise development.
