Frontline Civilian Response in Sudan Online event, held by U.S. Institute of Peace
Jan. 31st - 2PM EST
"More than 7 million Sudanese civilians have been displaced and millions more are facing limited access to basic services — including food, water and medical supplies — since the war between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces broke out in April 2023. Amid the spreading violence, international humanitarian partners have struggled to negotiate necessary access to deliver aid as they face barriers in gaining visas, transporting goods and fulfilling other administrative requirements. However, local emergency response groups and volunteers have worked tirelessly to mitigate the humanitarian crisis and support Sudan’s civilian population, often in dangerous conditions and with limited resources.
Join USIP for remarks from USAID Administrator Samantha Power followed by a conversation with frontline Sudanese responders and analysts. The discussion will explore the experiences of Sudanese civilian-led emergency response rooms, the imperative to activate USAID’s localization agenda, and the priorities and needs of Sudanese civilians in the year ahead."
