JOB CONTEXT:
The ongoing war in Sudan, which escalated in April 2023 between the SAF and the RSF, has resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe of unprecedented scale, with approximately 30 million people who require humanitarian assistance and 14.5 million people displaced, including 11 million internally. Sudan is currently classified as a “hotspot of highest concern” for acute food insecurity by the Hunger Hotspots report underscoring the urgent need to address life-threatening food shortages, malnutrition, and livelihood support in the most vulnerable regions. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report from September 2024, approximately 25.6 million people in Sudan – about 54% of the population – are facing high levels of acute food insecurity. Moreover, exacerbated by ongoing conflict, Sudan is grappling with a severe health crisis, with 80% of facilities out of service in active conflict zones and 45% in other areas, having significant impacts on mortality rates and disease prevalence.

Darfur, a region long affected by conflict and instability, has experienced an escalation of violence over the past year, worsening pre-existing vulnerabilities. An estimated 9 million people in Darfur will require humanitarian assistance in 2025, with 48% of all IDPs from the conflict seeking refuge in this region.

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan has disproportionately affected persons with disabilities. They face significant challenges to equally access humanitarian assistance due to attitudinal, physical and communication barriers which hinder their participation and inclusion in humanitarian action. These barriers have contributed to heightened protection risks, exclude persons with disabilities from receiving equal assistance and disproportionately expose them to further harm, neglect, violence

In 2024, Humanity & Inclusion (HI) and a national NGO has started a project in Sudan focusing on physical and functional rehabilitation, MHPSS, Protection and Inclusive Humanitarian Action activities. In 2024, HI got registered in Sudan, and several opportunities are pursued allowed positive perspectives in terms of scale-up of the response (from both geographical and sectoral perspectives) and fundraising.

In 2025, HI plans to scale-up significantly its response in Sudan with key priorities in terms of geographic foot print (both in east and west) including Khartoum, in terms of sectors of intervention (physical rehabilitation, food, WaSH, disability-inclusion) while developing several modalities of intervention (direct, remote partnership, etc.). HI has engaged several consortiums and donors.
