Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Sudan | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.About 9.3 million people in the Sudan were already in need of humanitarian assistance prior to COVID-19. Since the economic shock of South Sudan’s secession in 2011, the Sudanese economy has been in a downward spiral that the country has since struggled to stabilize. Political instability; conflict in the states of Blue Nile, Darfur and Southern Kordofan; poor basic infrastructure; and the reliance of much of the population on subsistence agriculture, has kept close to half of the population at or below the poverty line. The COVID-19 pandemic has further aggravated and compounded the already fragile situation, which is exacerbated by climate-induced disasters such as floods and droughts and food chain crises (desert locust and other plant and animal pests and diseases), with the annual inflation rate in the Sudan climbing to its highest level in almost 25 years since its emergence. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. -
Book (stand-alone)South Sudan Emergency Livelihood Response Programme 2021–2023 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The situation in South Sudan has proven to be unpredictable and volatile. New hotspots of violent conflict and civil unrest have continued to emerge and levels of severe acute food insecurity have become progressively worse. In addition to years of fighting and political instability, the country faces natural hazards, disease and pests, such as the desert locust, and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Collectively, these risks have had and continue to have a catastrophic impact on the lives and livelihoods of South Sudanese, the majority of whom rely on agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries as their main source of income. To respond to humanitarian needs, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched the latest iteration of its Emergency Livelihood Response Programme (ELRP) in South Sudan, which was first introduced in early 2014. The document presents the multiyear Programme for 2021–2023 and outlines how FAO aims to save lives, to enhance households' livelihoods and own food production, and to improve their resilience to future shocks. FAO revises its strategy each year to address the ever-emerging challenges facing food security and agriculture, integrate lessons learned and adapt modalities to the prevailing situation. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Sudan Flood Response Plan 2020–2021
Supporting flood-affected farmers and pastoralists
2020Also available in:
No results found.The Sudan is a country in transition that is facing multiple crises, ranging from political, economic, health and environmental issues. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) for June–September 2020 estimated that 9.6 million people in the Sudan are facing crisis or worse levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), of whom more than 2.2 million are in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). This is the highest figure ever recorded in the history of the IPC in the country. Since July 2020, torrential rains and flooding combined with the historical overflow of the River Nile and its tributaries have affected all the states in the Sudan with the exception of South Darfur, causing devastating damage alongside riverbanks in the northern, central and eastern regions of the country. Moreover, localized flash floods also occurred in wider areas of the country, including Kordofan and Darfur States. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed a 2020 Flood Response Plan (FRP) for the Sudan. The FRP was prepared following a joint rapid assessment with the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources and state agriculture and livestock authorities. The rapid assessment covered 15 of the 17 states affected by the flood. The overall objective of the FRP is to accelerate livelihoods recovery for sustained food security and income opportunities for the most flood-affected households through improved food security and nutrition, economic empowerment, livelihoods restoration, agricultural infrastructure improvement, capacity development and effective coordination of intervention. The FRP sets out key emergency agricultural, livestock, forestry and fishery interventions to be implemented within a period of 12 months in severely affected localities. Implementing the FRP will require an estimated USD 70 million to support 2.9 million people (582 000 households).
