Context:
Since conflict erupted in Sudan in April 2023 the country has endured a comprehensive collapse. And with no meaningful prospects for peace in sight, it sits on the precipice of unprecedented crisis, fragmentation, and state failure. Sudan is now the world’s largest displacement crisis in the world, with over 10.7 million people internally displaced, and over 2 million fleeing across its borders. Sudan is also the word’s largest hunger crisis. About 25.6 million people – over half the population in Sudan – face acute hunger, including more than 755,000 people on the brink of famine.
NRC’s programme has grown in response, becoming one of the two largest in the region. It has a budget of $72 million and employs 333 staff managed from three Area Offices that covers operations across all the States in Sudan
As well as delivering humanitarian response and seeking new routes to greater impact, NRC’s Sudan programme has built a strong reputation for humanitarian analysis and advocacy and seeks to continue to strengthen these efforts over the coming years, in partnerships with local and global actors.
All NRC employees are expected to work in accordance with the organisation’s core values: dedication, innovation, inclusivity, and accountability. These attitudes and believes shall guide our actions and relationships.
