More than 22 months have passed since the escalation of conflict in Sudan in April 2023. Health is the sector with the third highest people in need as per the Humanitarian Needs Response Plan 2025 (HNRP).

Following the issuance of the stop work order on January 20th 2025, the subsequent lifesaving waivers from January 28th, 2025, and the final project termination letters in late February, MPCA projects executed by partners in South Sudan have not received any waiver or continuation notice from USAID or the Department of State.

In February, humanitarian partners in South Sudan faced 25 reported access challenges, including active hostilities among armed groups, bureaucratic impediments, and violence targeting humanitarian personnel, facilities, and assets.

In February alone, within the total of 3.2 million people assisted, WFP provided Cash-Based Transfers (CBT) to 1.4 million people, the highest number of people reached under this modality since the conflict began.

The African Diplomatic Corps (ADC) and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) met in Juba on 19 March. They resolved to express their concern about the ongoing security challenges in the country, specifically Western Equatoria, Western Bahr el-Ghazal and Upper Nile States, and to call for restraint and de-escalation of the tension and conflict.

Nationwide, 9 million people required aid, with 4 million enduring protracted displacement due to conflict, violence, and climate disasters.

There are now 12.9 million forcibly displaced due to the outbreak of conflict in Sudan since April 2023, including 8.9 million internally and 3.8 million in neighbouring countries.

Insecurity Insight’s monitoring indicates that between 2016 and 2024, at least 21 aid workers and 73 health workers, six of which worked for health NGOs, were reportedly killed in drone attacks.

The World Humanitarian Summit(WHS) consultation process opened the space for voices of local and national actors about their experience of the global humanitarian system and its impact locally. As part of the preparations for the WHS in 2016, the High-Level Panel on Humanitarian Financing sought solutions to close the humanitarian financing gap. Their report made recommendations to shrink the needs, deepen and broaden the resource base for humanitarian action, and to improve delivery.

The Covid19 pandemic has extensively and adversely impacted the aid architecture, at a time when the lifesaving assistance to population facing natural disasters or protracted crises is most needed. Local organisations are facing further marginalisation at a time when they are at the forefront of the response, be it Covid19 health response or economic or other crises caused during this period.
