Another excellent executive decision—all efforts enabling #humanitarian aid reaching civilians, including in #Kordofan, are much needed. Look forward to rejoining our team in Kadugli, who’re providing #cash & vouchers support + support to #agricultural & #education sectors.

This week in #Kordofan 🇸🇩 we’re distributing humanitarian relief through e-vouchers in Kadugli for about 25,000 people, who redeem codes with local traders for what they most need. Grateful this response in a neglected area is building momentum. Further uplift thanks to 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇳🇴

Our teams still working to respond to people who fled into Gedaref from atrocities in Al-Gezira. Another five thousand survivors being assisted with relief supplies and multipurpose cash this week, thanks to 🇪🇺🇩🇪 The scale of internal displacement in #Sudan is extreme.

2025 Global #humanitarian plan appeals for $47B to help 190M people, which is about $130M per day. Staggeringly high, but also relatively small—every day the world drinks $895M tea 🫖 & coffee ☕️ , or smokes $2.9B cigarettes!

Cogent explainer of re-emerging famine in Darfur, and fatal delays of an ineffective response system. The conflict & hunger situation in Sudan will worsen still next year, while the international humanitarian response trails behind; now it must urgently be adapted & energised.

Update: e-voucher distribution in South #Kordofan #Sudan is almost done, with over 20,000 people now redeeming them for items their families really need in many different stores. Even in isolated areas, combining Sudanese ingenuity and tech innovations together create solutions.

Locally-led relief efforts are a lifeline for so many people in #humanitarian need across #Sudan. We’re proud to have provided them over 1000 micro-grants by end of 2024. Though those same civilian volunteers—often youth—face many risks. So, more than funding, they need safety.

Not every day does a Foreign Sec call directly, encouraging frontline humanitarian efforts in the worst of crises! Grateful for the call! Aid work can be dangerous, exhausting & stressful. We don’t do it for appreciation, but the journey is less wearisome when we feel supported.

Tragic that it’s come to this. Even more tragic is where this is headed. More international cooperation, not less, is needed to immediately improve the life chances of millions of Sudanese people affected by conflict and hunger. reuters.com/world/africa/s…

Carter’s run as elder statesman and moral ambassador is sorely missed, and should be celebrated. His indefatigable pursuit of peace, human rights, and shelter, sets aspirational standards for all world leaders.

Today, 5 years on from our humble beginnings, I pass the torch over as Country Director to my successor. It's been a honour to lead our team, and I continue to be humbled by the courage and ingenuity of Sudanese civilians across the country. Last year, overcoming immense
