CONTEXT:
Since fighting broke out between the SAF and RSF in April 2023 in Sudan, a significant deterioration of the humanitarian situation has occurred. There are an estimated 24.8 million persons in need of humanitarian assistance, over 11 million persons displaced internally, half the population at Crisis level of hunger, and a collapse of the health system.

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) has initiated its programmatic response to the Sudan crisis in January 2024. Together with a Sudanese NGO, HI is currently implementing a project in Sudan (Gedaref State). The project includes physical and functional rehabilitation, MHPSS, Protection and Inclusive Humanitarian Action.

Following HI’s registration in Sudan in August 2024 to implement directly, HI initiated direct project implementation from December 2024, to respond to the basic needs, rehabilitation, mental health, protection and inclusion needs of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable populations in Sudan affected by the war.

In line with the localization of aid, and in light of the administrative steps and challenges to operate in Sudan, the Country Management team is based in Nairobi, providing remote support to the local partners while leading the preparation of direct implementation projects. Depending on visa approval, HI teams will have the possibility to travel to Sudan for field and monitoring visits.
