In the first-ever direct contribution between the two UN agencies in the country, the Sudan Emergency Safety Nets Project aims to provide cash transfers and food for more than two million people across the impoverished and crisis-wracked nation, including for those internally displaced.
“WFP is extremely grateful to the World Bank for this generous contribution, at a crucial time in Sudan when more and more people do not know where their next meal will come from,” said Eddie Rowe, WFP’s Representative and Country Director in Sudan.
The country’s economic and political crisis has grown more intense due to rising inflation, conflict and displacement. That’s been exacerbated by climate shocks — including droughts and floods, and a poor harvest – all of which has increased food insecurity throughout Sudan. As hunger continues to rise at “an alarming rate,” one-third of the population is facing food insecurity, said WFP.
By September, up to 18 million people, or 40% of the population, could slip into hunger, according to the Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Assessment released in June.
