CAIRO, March 11 (Reuters) - A donor conference for Darfur this month is intended to raise $2 billion for infrastructure, health, water and other projects in the war-ravaged Sudanese region, the Egyptian hosts said on Thursday.

Projects being proposed at the one-day development and reconstruction conference on March 21 in Cairo include building two cement plants, 520 km (300 miles) of roads and 120 villages for displaced people, documents distributed by Egypt showed.

Donors have convened several conferences for Sudan, stricken by multiple conflicts over the years. More than $4 billion was pledged in Norway after a 2005 north-south peace deal.

Much of that money was diverted to Darfur's separate humanitarian crisis and complicated aid structures held up spending, leaving many in Sudan's south wondering where their peace dividend was.

"The conference aims at sending a clear message to the international community that development is a key factor in achieving peace and stability," an Egyptian statement said.
