Highlights
• Technical assessments are underway in Al Gedarif for the expansion of ETC connectivity services. The cluster is receiving requests from UN agencies and I/NGOs for connectivity support in Al Gedarif, Kassala, and Wad Madani, where satellite infrastructure has been installed.
• The ETC team installed a new broadband antenna to support UNDSS in enhancing the coverage of the HF network in Port Sudan. The improvements will enable the use of HF radio in vehicles for long-distance communications during field missions.
• The ETC has received 3.6% of its funding needs in Sudan, thanks to a contribution of EUR 250,000 from the Government of Luxembourg.
The cluster urgently requires additional funding to be able to maintain and expand services.
