UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Purpose

March 2020 - An estimated 9.3 million people across Sudan are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection across the country as a result of armed conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition, economic decline and disease. Approximately 1.9 million people are internally displaced within Sudan and almost 1.1 million refugees, asylum seekers and migrants from CAR, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Syria are present in the country. An estimated 6.2 million people are currently severely food insecure, exacerbating already high levels of malnutrition. Outbreaks of communicable diseases have strained an already overwhelmed health system.
