Sudan, Saferworld, Conflict Sensitivity Facility (CSF), Protection
The Conflict Sensitivity Facility (CSF) is a project implemented by Saferworld, that seeks to support the integration of conflict sensitivity into the strategies, policies, practices and programmes of aid actors in Sudan, and to ensure that interventions do not aggravate conflict but instead contribute to peace. CSF provides analysis, convenes discussions, shares learning and supports capacity development focused on priority areas for the aid sector.

| Contesto | International aid has been provided to Sudan since the 1950s, with significant increase since Operation Lifeline Sudan in 1989. This has helped to keep millions of people alive. However, it has primarily focused on short-term solutions to address immediate needs, lacking the long-term thinking needed to break the cycle of protracted violent conflict that perpetuates the need for aid. Prior to April 2023, Sudan had already experienced an increase in the number of people requiring humanitarian assistance, from 5.4m in 2015 to 9.3m in January 2020, and further to 15.8m in 2023. The humanitarian crises worsened dramatically when fighting broke out in April 2023 between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), resulting in an estimated 24.7m in need of assistance by the end of 2023, with 10.7m displaced within Sudan and to neighbouring countries. Since April, the country has descended into chaos as fighting has intensified and spread. Basic services and the economy are barely functioning, and there are widespread reports of ethnic targeting, war crimes, and sexual and gender-based violence. Additionally, aid operations have been severely affected. The initial wave of fighting in Khartoum prompted the evacuation or relocation of nearly the entire international aid community; subsequently, the international aid system has struggled with access and expansion to meet the growing humanitarian needs. As of early 2024, aid operations are primarily led from Port Sudan or from outside Sudan, constrained by the fluidity of the battlefield and the shifting areas of control. |
| Obiettivi | Aid workers, donors and implementing agencies change their attitudes, behaviours, relationships, and policies in ways that mitigate the risk of deepening the drivers of violent conflict and increase the likelihood of making positive contributions to peace in Sudan. |
| Gruppi target | Donors, international and national aid actors, civil society, experts, and academics. |
| Effetti a medio termine | Aid workers, donors and implementing agencies have improved skills, resources and relationships to inform how they change the behaviours, relationships, and policies within their own practice, teams, organisations and partners in Sudan. |
