Sudan aid response faces capacity challenges

Friday, May 3, 2024

Significance

Collectively, participants pledged some USD2.2bn in humanitarian assistance for Sudan, against an appeal for USD4.1bn from aid agencies.

Impacts

  • Given credible claims that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is arming the RSF, community-based initiatives may reject any UAE-funded aid.
  • The organisers’ decision not to invite Sudan’s military authorities to the conference may have repercussions for humanitarian access.
  • In the absence of a political settlement to the crisis, the humanitarian caseload will increase significantly over the coming months.
