Description:
March 2020 - An estimated 9.3 million people across Sudan are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection across the country as a result of armed conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition, economic decline and disease. Approximately 1.9 million people are internally displaced within Sudan and almost 1.1 million refugees, asylum seekers and migrants from CAR, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Syria are present in the country. An estimated 6.2 million people are currently severely food insecure, exacerbating already high levels of malnutrition. Outbreaks of communicable diseases have strained an already overwhelmed health system.
With GAC’s support, the Sudan Humanitarian Fund is providing timely allocations to national and international NGOs and United Nations agencies to meet critical humanitarian needs of people throughout the country. The Fund is managed by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Support to the Fund is helping to achieve its objectives, including: (1) promoting early action and response to reduce loss of life; (2) enhancing response to time-critical humanitarian requirements; and (3) strengthening core elements of humanitarian response in underfunded crises.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
