An update on the Humanitarian situation and response in Sudan

Please find the report of the expert meeting here.

The main objective of the meeting is to facilitate knowledge exchange and constructive dialogue between practitioners actively engaged in the Sudanese context, allowing them to share their perspectives on dilemmas but also potential, perhaps less discussed, opportunities for delivering humanitarian aid. Political developments around Sudan will be introduced, as well as updates on the large-scale food crisis, and the imbalance with the available aid. How can policymakers, humanitarian practitioners, and researchers make sure to preserve and improve the response and attention to the crisis in Sudan?

• Timmo Gaasbeek, Independent Researcher, PhD in anthropology of conflict and irrigation engineer by training.

• Hisham Abdulrahman, DRA Sudan Acute Crisis Joint Response, Darfur Programme Area Manager for Plan International.

The discussion will be moderated by Suying Lai, Chair of KUNO and Manager of the SAFE Unit at Oxfam Novib.
