Site Management Needs Overview
In 2026, 4.0 million internally displaced people require Site Management support across Planned IDP sites, collective centres, and informal settlements. Severity analysis confirms that highest risks are concentrated in high-density sites in Darfur and other displacement-affected regions where coordination gaps, environmental exposure, and weak governance overlap.
Only a small proportion of households report formal occupancy arrangements, increasing eviction risk and insecurity. Overcrowding, unplanned expansion, and inadequate drainage heighten exposure to flooding, fire, and disease outbreaks. Sites without structured coordination demonstrate higher levels of service duplication, unmet needs, and protection incidents.
Community consultations highlight limited access to information, weak complaint systems, and insufficient participation in decision-making. Women, youth, older persons, and persons with disabilities are often underrepresented in site governance structures.
Operational constraints include access restrictions, insecurity, funding limitations, and limited partner presence in some high-severity locations.
Shelter & NFI Needs Overview
In 2026, 15.4 million people require Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items assistance across Sudan. Inter-sectoral severity analysis and site-level assessments indicate that a significant proportion of displaced households fall within the highest severity categories due to structural shelter failure, overcrowding, and repeated asset loss. The most acute needs are concentrated in Darfur states, parts of Kordofan, and high-density displacement hubs affected by conflict and flooding.
More than one in ten displaced households live in collapsed or structurally unsafe shelters. Up to 40 per cent report overcrowding and lack of privacy. Recurrent flooding and fire incidents have destroyed shelters and essential household items multiple times in some locations, reinforcing cyclical emergency needs and increasing humanitarian replacement costs.
Shelter inadequacy directly increases protection risks, including gender-based violence, exploitation, eviction, and fire hazards. Female-headed households, older persons, and persons with disabilities face disproportionate exposure due to mobility limitations and lack of structural reinforcement.
Market functionality varies significantly across states. It does not automatically translate into affordability, as high inflation and liquidity shortages continue to constrain purchasing power. While some urban and peri-urban areas demonstrate partial market recovery, insecurity, supply chain disruption, and high inflation continue to limit access to affordable shelter materials in many high-severity locations. Access constraints and land tenure uncertainties further affect delivery and sustainability.
