Sudan

This is a year of transformation for Sudan, offering hope and optimism to millions of people. The transitional government, formed in September 2019 after months of protest, is pursuing a new social contract with the people, prioritizing peace and economic reform. However, these reforms will take time and the situation will likely worsen in the short term especially for the most vulnerable.

Hay Al Jabal neighbourhood of Ag Geneina town is like a ghost town, with an almost complete lack of residents in most parts and many houses or traditional huts torched.
A little over half of IDPs and 45 per cent of refugee families across Sudan are food insecure, according to WFP's latest FSMS report.
Cereal prices are at record levels, due to a weak local currency and soaring prices of fuel and agricultural inputs, inflating production and transportation, according to FAO
In 2020, WFP provided food assistance to 7.5 million people across Sudan.
UNDP is expanding its response to assist host communities and refugees in eastern Sudan.
