The Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) which was established in 2006, is a rapid and flexible funding mechanism supporting national and international NGOs and UN agencies, to respond to the most pressing or critical emergencies in a fast-changing environment. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) for Sudan, the SHF supports the timely allocation and disbursement of donor resources to the most critical humanitarian needs defined in the Sudan Humanitarian Needs Response Plan. 

In April 2023, fierce fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out initially in the capital Khartoum, but quickly expanded to other areas across the country. After more than a year of the war, as of August 2024, an estimated 10.7 million people (2.1 million families) are now internally displaced in Sudan.  

The Fund is operationally managed by the Humanitarian Financing Unit of OCHA Sudan, which ensures that the SHF is managed from the epicenter of the crisis with allocation processes and monitoring close to partners and projects on the ground.  

Like all Country-Based Pooled Funds, the SHF is designed to complement other humanitarian funding sources, such as bilateral funding and the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).
