OPERATIONAL STRATEGY REVISION
On 30th May 2023, IFRC launched the Sudan Crisis Cross-regional Population Movement Emergency Appeal to support the coordination, and the implementation of the humanitarian response plans and activities of the National Societies in neighbouring countries Egypt, Chad, South Sudan, Central Africa Republic (CAR), Ethiopia and Libya. It was developed in close coordination with Movement Partners, and it complements the Sudan Emergency Appeal.
Due to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan with more than 124 million forcibly displaced, out of which 3.4 million fled into neighbouring countries, the Federation-wide Emergency Appeal was revised, increasing the total funding ask from the initial CHF 42 million to CHF 47.5 million and extending the operation end date to December 2025. This adjustment aimed to address the growing needs more effectively in all the countries receiving Sudanese refugees, to respond to the population movement, to adapt to the evolving context and to prepare for future developments as well as recovery actions.
The revised Emergency Appeal and its operational strategy will continue to support response interventions of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society (ERCS), Red Cross of Chad (CRC), South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC), Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS), and Libya Red Crescent Society (LRCS). While the intervention in Central African Republic (CAR) will be winding up because of the small numbers of people crossing in relation with other countries, Uganda Red Cross (URCS) will be incorporated because of the growing number of people arriving throughout 2024 after having crossed through South Sudan. In addition, a new sector was also incorporated, encompassing Risk reduction and climate recovery.
