To help address the difficult humanitarian situation in Sudan, the European Commission and Member States have pledged €522 million in aid for 2025 at the High-level Conference for Sudan, co-hosted in London by the Commission alongside the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the African Union. This comes after two years of armed conflict which have strongly affected the population in the area.
Out of the overall EU pledge, the Commission pledged €282 million. The remaining funding was pledged by EU Member States: Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
EU aid will provide urgently needed health and nutritional care, food assistance, water and sanitation, shelter, protection, and education to the most vulnerable households – the internally displaced, refugee families, and host communities.
This conference comes on the heels of Commissioner Lahbib’s visit to Chad, where she witnessed the devastating impact of this conflict on refugees, women, and children. The conference aims to increase international attention to the long-lasting human tragedy in Sudan and provides a platform to address the devastating humanitarian consequences, including practical steps to improve humanitarian access.
