The Launch of the Executive Technical Report of the Sudan Humanitarian Crisis Conference - 2023
We are pleased to share with you the Executive Technical Report of the Sudan Humanitarian Crisis Conference that was held in Cairo in the period between November 18 - 20, 2023. Under the theme "Revitalizing Humanitarian Response to the Crisis in Sudan", the conference sought to bring renewed global attention to the dire situation in our war-torn country.
The conference attracted considerable participation, with over 100 coming from inside Sudan, representing the various Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) and other first-line responders from across the 18 states of Sudan, in addition to representatives of Sudanese refugees in Egypt, Chad, Kenya, Uganda, and other places. The total number of participants in the three-day events was 420, which also included esteemed participants from diplomatic, international, and UN organizations active in Sudan.
The report presents the outcomes and recommendations derived from the discussions and direct interaction between the first-line responders and experts who participated in the conference. It is important to note that these recommendations are publicly owned and have been published here for anyone and everyone who can help in materializing them, with the aim of assisting in alleviating the suffering of the Sudanese people. The publishing of this report is not the end. As previously mentioned, this report marks the beginning of a process that we hope it will stimulate and invigorate the humanitarian response to the crisis in Sudan.
This report provides an overview of the humanitarian crisis as well as the relief efforts and associated shortfalls that have been implemented thus far. In addition, a review of the recommendations discussed under the following six thematic areas is provided:
- Overarching Recommendations
- Localization, coordination, and integration
- Protection
- Health
- Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV)
- Food Security
The report additionally delineates a broad Plan of Action for implementing these recommendations.
We hope this report will lead to serious discussions about the humanitarian situation and the response in Sudan in a way that will help improve the situation of normal citizens in our country.
Verily, this wonderful homeland does belong to us, with all its wars, suffering, tragedies, and exhausting hardships. This homeland is ours, and we shall not forsake our duty to exert every conceivable endeavor to lessen the anguish of our cherished, enduring people.
