Why are we in the Republic of Sudan? Over 46.5% of the Republic of Sudan's population is living below the poverty line and 5.5 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. We are implementing emergency relief and longer-term development programmes in West Darfur, along with West and South Kordofan.
Poor economic growth due to sanctions and harsh environments have placed Sudan in the lowest quintile in the Human Development Index. It is estimated that 5.5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 1.9 million are internally displaced people. Over 46.5% of the population are living below the poverty line.
Our emergency programming focuses on supporting the most vulnerable with access to health and nutrition services while providing communities with access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. We also run 'Community Management of Acute Malnutrition' (CMAM) feeding centres. In Darfur, we are working with the community on building resilience to climate change.
Emergency response
In July 2018, a small town called El Nuhud experienced flash flooding which affected 23,880 people. We responded with non-food item distributions such as shelter, as well as providing health and nutrition services.

Health and nutrition
We are working hard to combat suffering and build resilience in the Republic of Sudan. We are doing this by establishing programmes which will strengthen household capacity, provide health and nutrition support, and humanitarian assistance in emergencies.
