Sudan: Humanitarian Aid

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to fund civil society organisations in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile which provide emergency assistance to civilians in Sudan.

Answer

The FCDO provides a range of support to and through Sudanese civil society organisations. This includes providing funding access to CSOs through the Sudan Humanitarian Fund, technical support to advance Localisation in humanitarian action in Sudan, and capacity support to the National NGO Forum. However, we do not earmark this support to particular locations or ask for geographical breakdowns for this kind of support.
