Highlights
▪ On 17 February, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, jointly launched the 2025 Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) and the Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP). As outlined in the Sudan situation joint summary document HNRP and RRP 2025, the appeals seek a total of USD 6 billion to assist nearly 26 million people inside the country and in the region, including USD 4.2 billion for the UN-coordinated plan inside Sudan and USD 1.8 billion for the Regional Refugee Response Plan in the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, South Sudan, and Uganda.
▪ The Sudan Regional RRP 2024 End-of-Year Report (covering January–December 2024) for the Sudan situation response can be accessed here.
▪ As the conflict in Sudan persists, humanitarian operations remain severely constrained by access restrictions, security risks, and funding shortages. The ongoing military offensives in Khartoum, North Kordofan, and Darfur continue to drive mass displacement, straining already overwhelmed humanitarian response efforts. A cholera outbreak in White Nile, along with growing malnutrition rates, highlights the urgent need for sustained health, WASH, and food assistance.
▪ The Sudan emergency continues to drive large-scale displacement, with Egypt having received over 1.5 million Sudanese refugees since the start of the conflict, according to recently updated figures shared by the government of Egypt.
▪ Efforts to promote refugee self-sufficiency and economic integration continue to expand. Chadian authorities have authenticated over 200 Sudanese refugee diplomas and certificates, particularly for qualified health workers, enabling them to seek employment in local health facilities. Additionally, the National Office of Higher Education Examinations and Competitions facilitated the authentication and equivalence of refugee diplomas in Adré, improving access to the job market and fostering socio-economic inclusion. These initiatives reflect a commitment to empowering refugees by creating opportunities for sustainable livelihoods and reducing dependency on humanitarian aid.
