Sudan Sees 3.6 Million Reached As UNDP Delivers Key Projects
The United Nations Development Programme states that 3.6 million people in Sudan benefited from several humanitarian projects in 2025. This happened despite funding cuts and other humanitarian problems.
Completed projects include delivering 24 tons of essential medicine, 9 mobile clinics, 4 oxygen plants, 110 solarized health facilities, and 10 tons of insulin. These initiatives offered vital care to affected communities.
Recovery in numbers means recovery in people’s lives.

Sudan is just one of the countries enjoying the humanitarian operations of UNDP. Several Somali communities got clean water projects to help them access drinkable water.
High inflation and unemployment reduce household income. Families lost livelihoods as farms and markets were destroyed.
Displacement continues to rise as millions flee their homes, moving within Sudan or across borders. Communities struggle to find food, clean water, and healthcare.
Women, children, and elders face the greatest risks. UNDP continues to plead for support for vulnerable people.
Many lose access to education, jobs, and protection services. The breakdown of social structures leaves households struggling to survive amid ongoing instability.
Hunger, Health Crises, and Education Continue to Rise
Food insecurity worsens as disrupted farming seasons and increased prices affect feeding. Millions face serious hunger, with some regions experiencing harsh conditions.
Health services remain strained due to damage, shortages, and insecurity. Communities lack treatment options, increasing exposure to disease outbreaks and maternal health issues.
School activities are disrupted as many remain closed or serve as temporary shelters. Millions of children miss education, heightening long-term learning losses.
Last year, President Trump cut US foreign aid, which threatens the survival of thousands of Somalians. Despite this setback, international charities remain resolute about providing essential services to communities in crises.
UNDP and partners continue to support volunteers and humanitarian teams on site. They provided cash support, community rehabilitation, and community initiatives.
Funding shortages affect the effectiveness of these interventions. UN agencies warn that without more international support, things could worsen.
Meanwhile, at a meeting with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, Sudanese charities seek more assistance. They believe that with more funding, there operations will be better.
