NRC, Reg. Resp.Plan SUDCrisis NK; SUD, SSD, Chad, EGY


After more than 31 months of war, Sudan faces the world’s largest humanitarian and displacement crisis. Over 30 million people need assistance, and 12 million have been forcibly displaced, including 4.3 million across borders - mainly to Egypt, Chad, and South Sudan. Inside Sudan, bureaucratic hurdles, financial collapse, market disruptions, and insecurity hinder aid efforts. Through its Regional Response Plan 2026 - Sudan, NRC aims to assist over 296,280 conflict-affected people, prioritizing those with the most severe needs.

Contesto Throughout 2025, Sudan has faced intensifying armed confrontation, deepening political fragmentation, economic collapse, and a worsening humanitarian and health crisis. In the first quarter of the year, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) gradually regained control over Khartoum state and other areas, while the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) expanded its hold in West Kordofan and, in late October, captured Al Fasher after an 18-month siege marked by starvation and devastation. The continuous escalation of conflict and related needs has driven large-scale displacement both within Sudan and into neighboring countries. Chad, Egypt, and South Sudan have experienced a significant influx of refugees, straining response capacities already weakened by US aid cuts and ripple effects among other donors. With no political solution in sight, the conflict is expected to persist well beyond 2025, while economic collapse, famine, and the breakdown of essential public services will continue to fuel displacement and escalate needs for food, shelter, healthcare, and other critical services.
Obiettivi NRC’s Regional Response Plan Sudan 2026 aims to deliver a protection-centered response while addressing urgent basic needs and supporting pathways toward durable solutions for people affected by conflict and displacement, both within Sudan and in neighboring countries.
Gruppi target With SDC’s contribution and match funding (total budget: CHF 12m), NRC aims to assist 296,280 people affected by the Sudan crisis: Sudan: 67,280; Chad: 145,000; Egypt: 36,000; South Sudan: 48,000. Target groups include IDPs, refugees, returnees, third-country nationals, and local communities.

Risultati fasi precedenti:   SDC’s support to NRC’s response to the Sudan crisis began on 01.12.2023 (7F-11141.01.01). NRC expanded its efforts under the NRC Regional Response Plan 2024–2025, with continued funding from SDC (7F-11360.01). These efforts delivered critical emergency services, including WASH, food security, shelter, protection, education, and livelihood assistance. Looking ahead to 2026, NRC will phase out livelihoods and food security as core competencies, while continuing to support displaced populations by addressing structural barriers that prevent them from rebuilding their lives.
