| Contexte | The crisis in Sudan is now considered the world’s largest protection, refugee, and hunger crisis and is accompanied by widespread cholera outbreaks and acute malnutrition. According to the United Nations, more than 70 percent of health facilities are out of service, and the uncertain development of the conflict increases the risk of famine in large parts of Sudan — a symptom of a worsening crisis for millions of people. In late October, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) forces captured El Fasher—the last Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) stronghold in Darfur—after an 18-month siege, triggering mass atrocities including extrajudicial killings, ethnic-based executions, and widespread looting. |

Principaux résultats attendus: SHF is preparing for a series of allocations totaling USD 45 million, structured as follows: USD 4 million from the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) to address urgent new emergencies, including the El Fasher crisis, with replenishment of another USD 12 million planned for early 2026. USD 5 million dedicated to WASH initiatives, including water trucking in Tawila (USD 4 million) and WASH support in Khartoum (USD 1 million). This includes planned borehole drilling and extension of water-trucking through mid-2026. USD 12 million to replenish mine action grants (MAG), used to support clearance in Khartoum and Sudan-wide. USD 28 million for an area-based response—focused on food production, protection, and health. This includes USD 6 million earmarked and USD 22 million targeting other underfunded localities, with a strengthened focus on El Fasher. Principaux résultats antérieurs: SHF has redefined humanitarian financing with a dynamic, needs-based model that rapidly channels resources to the areas of greatest need. By integrating the cluster system at national and state levels, facilitating inclusive consultations, and fostering strong partnerships with local and international NGOs, SHF enhances coordination and drives community-led solutions. With flexible and tailored allocation methods, the Fund effectively responds to diverse emergencies -from grassroots interventions to large-scale, cross-state crises - focusing on multi-cluster and area-based responses while prioritizing protection integration. In 2024 (as of 03.12.2024), SHF received USD 180 m in contributions, nearly four times the amount in 2022. Allocations to local actors reached 24%, in line with SHF’s commitment to local engagement. The Fund also made significant strides in risk management, updating its risk absorption framework, launching a new round of capacity assessments with 60+ new applicants, and finalizing a third-party monitoring agreement. Additionally, the SHF team managed the allocation of CERF resources. Through USD 382.7 m in allocations, CERF and SHF have provided urgent health assistance, sexual and reproductive services, nutrition, shelter, water, and protection support to over 7.7 m people across Sudan. |
