UNDP Sudan

In a country where conflict has strained every part of the health system, innovation is proving essential. From stabilizing medicine supply chains and powering health facilities with solar energy, to mobile primary health care units and digital tracking of medical stock, practical and scalable solutions are helping keep healthcare services running across #Sudan, even in the most difficult conditions. With the Federal Ministry Of Health - Sudan. ‎وزارة الصحة الإتحادية - السودان and support from The Global Fund, UNDP is working to ensure these systems can withstand crisis and support long-term recovery.

When women are excluded from local decisions-making, communities lose leadership, insight, and the perspectives needed for resilient recovery. UNDP supports women’s meaningful participation in community management committees, recovery planning and community governance, ensuring women help shape the priorities and solutions that affect their daily lives. #16Days

No woman should fear the road to water or food. UNDP works with communities to provide safe, reliable access to water, food and basic services, helping ensure women and their families can meet their needs with dignity. #16Days

In #Khartoum, UNDP Resident Representative Luca Renda met workers leading their own recovery through cash-for-work activities. Community members are clearing debris, reopening access routes, and earning the income their families depend on. These efforts are not only restoring vital pathways, they are restoring dignity, initiative, and a shared sense of recovery. Every cleared street is a reminder that even in the hardest moments, Sudanese communities continue to rebuild from the ground up. This initiative is made possible through our #FundingWindows, with generous support from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defence, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea, and implemented on the ground by Human Appeal.

💧 Clean water that keeps families healthy. ⚡ Energy that powers clinics, schools, and safe spaces. 💼 Jobs that restore dignity for women, youth, and displaced people.

Readiness and mobility can be lifesaving during crisis. In Sudan’s ongoing war, UNDP’s mobile health facilities, implemented with IOM - UN Migration Sudan and Federal Ministry Of Health - Sudan. ‎وزارة الصحة الإتحادية - السودان, bring essential healthcare directly to families fleeing violence. Fully equipped and ready to deploy, these mobile primary healthcare units ensure that care reaches people where they are, not the other way around. Since November 5th, the Al-Afad unit has provided over 2,000 medical support to displaced people arriving from #ElFasher, thanks to the vital support of The Global Fund.

In Andalla, Kassala State, families who once struggled with severe water shortages are finally seeing lasting change. The rehabilitation of the local water yard, including an expanded well, restored filtration system, upgraded elevated tanks, and new solar-powered pumps is giving the community a steady, reliable source of drinking water for the first time in years. This progress is part of a wider project funded by KSrelief and implemented by UNDP across Kassala and Gedaref States. Through this support, 10 new water yards are being constructed and 44 existing sites are being rehabilitated, with 56 new pumps installed to expand access to safe water. The project also provides essential WASH materials, trains Water Users Associations to manage facilities sustainably, and strengthens waste management systems by supplying 2 new garbage trucks and repairing 6 others. Altogether, these efforts are helping deliver safer, more reliable water for more than 3 million people, easing daily burdens on families, improving community health, and strengthening resilience at a time when basic services are more critical than ever.

Extremely grateful to Kuwait Fund for Economic Development and Ministry of Foreign Affairs - State of Kuwait for this generous support to UNDP work in #Sudan. These programs will benefit more than 660,000 vulnerable people, ensuring access to clean water and sustainable livelihoods, complementing funds already provided by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Great to see our donors partnering towards a common goal.

Today, UNDP and Kuwait Fund for Economic Development signed two new projects worth USD 4 million to boost clean energy, water access, and resilience across Sudan, with Embassy of Switzerland in Kuwait joining as a co-funding partner on one project reflecting a shared commitment to supporting #Sudan’s recovery. Together, these projects will reach 660,000+ people across multiple states supporting climate-resilient agriculture, solar-powered water and energy, and livelihoods restoration for displaced people and host communities. Grateful to our partners for standing with Sudanese communities and advancing sustainable, long-term recovery.
