The ongoing conflict in Sudan has led to significant loss of lives and livelihoods, and the displacement of millions both internally and externally. Fifteen months into the conflict, Sudan faces one of the fastest growing crises globally, with unprecedented humanitarian needs. According to the 2024 revised Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), approximately 25 million people require humanitarian assistance, including over 14 million children.
The influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs) into already fragile communities is increasing their vulnerabilities, putting pressure on scarce basic services and natural resources, and threatening community resilience. According to the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), more than 11 million people have been displaced internally, with 7.3 million displaced since April 2023. The UNDP/IFPRI assessment highlights an accelerating food insecurity crisis, with up to 59% of rural households facing moderate or severe food insecurity, disproportionately affecting female-headed households.
The conflict has also led to the destruction of productive assets, agricultural land, and the disruption of markets and trade routes. Over 70% of respondents to a UNDP/IFPRI survey indicated they did not cultivate any land during the 2023 summer season. Urban and rural household incomes have been severely disrupted, and the cost of food and production inputs has soared, with staples such as sorghum, wheat, and millet becoming unaffordable for many. The devaluation of the currency has further exacerbated the situation, making it difficult for Sudan to import sufficient food stocks. The situation is critical, with significant unemployment challenges, particularly among youth and university graduates, and a striking 73% of people fleeing the war not gathering in camps but finding refuge within host communities, placing additional pressure on these communities and threatening social cohesion.
UNDP-Sudan has been making significant contributions to the 2024 revised HNRP and the Sudan Famine Prevention plan through active engagement in coordination platforms as well as the implementation of integrated solutions that enhance access to Health care, Safe water sources, livelihoods and economic opportunities, clean and affordable energy whilst promoting peace and social cohesion. UNDP is intending to contribute to mitigating and averting a humanitarian catastrophe by using cash-based interventions to improve food security of both IDPs and host community members while contributing to resilience building.
