March 2019 - An estimated 7.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection across Sudan as a result of armed conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition, economic decline and disease. Approximately 2 million people are internally displaced within the country. Instability around Sudan’s borders has also led to thousands seeking asylum and refuge in Sudan. The number of South Sudanese refugees in Sudan is over 844,000, making Sudan the largest host of South Sudanese. Refugees, asylum seekers and migrants from Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Syria are also present, bringing the total number of refugees to 1.2 million. An estimated 5.7 million people are currently severely food insecure, with malnutrition rates over emergency thresholds. With GAC’s support, ADRA Canada is providing emergency water, sanitation, hygiene and protection assistance for up to 112,907 conflict-affected people in Sudan’s Blue Nile state. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitating 18 hand pumps and 7 water systems in 8 settlements; (2) constructing gender-sensitive latrines and handwashing facilities in 6 schools and 6 health centers; (3) providing latrine slabs to 1,000 households; and (4) training 240 women and men community leaders in mediation, gender equality, and sexual and reproductive health and rights issues.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to safe drinking water, and safe sanitation and hygiene practices among conflict-affected populations; and (2) increased access to protection services for conflict-affected populations. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
