Our aim is to support conflict-affected children and their families, including IDPs and refugees, have access to adequate and timely shelter and household items (HHI) to meet their immediate and longer-term survival needs in all displacement scenarios, such as host families, transit, camps, collective gathering sites, and spontaneous settlements. Additionally, through Cash and Voucher Assistance, they can meet their most acute basic needs in a flexible and dignified way, reducing reliance on negative coping strategies by increasing food and non-food item availability, income, and reducing protection risks.
Impact of Conflict
Since April 2023, over 10 million people have been displaced internally in Sudan, with the Shelter and Non Food Items (NFIs) cluster aiming to assist 2.1 million individuals.
Darfur State: Severe unmet needs with gaps ranging from 80% to 91%, indicating a critical need for increased intervention to address basic shelter and NFIs requirements.
Kordofan States: Overall gap of 72%, with South Kordofan experiencing an even higher gap of 89%, highlighting extreme vulnerability and urgent need for in-kind Emergency Shelter NFI support.
Central States (Khartoum, Aljazeera, Sennar): Gaps range from 47% to 58%, suggesting a moderate but significant need for continued intervention to stabilize access to essential services and materials.
Our Response
We prioritize famine- and conflict-affected IDPs, especially those in overcrowded gathering sites and without safe shelter, ensuring they receive essential shelter and non-food items to restore safety and dignity. This approach addresses urgent needs while strengthening local capacities and community resilience.
The humanitarian response in Sudan has been actively addressing the needs of the affected population. Before the conflict, CVA accounted for approximately 20% of the overall response effort, effectively implemented across 14 states in Sudan.
Interventions include:
Conducting thorough needs and market assessments to understand the needs of those affected.
Carefully selecting individuals based on their level of need.
Providing essential non-food items like mattresses, blankets, cooking fuel, and hygiene supplies since the conflict began.
Conducting post-distribution monitoring to ensure our support reaches those who need it most and to collect feedback for future improvements.
