SUD, SRK, MPCA North Kordofan
The Swiss Red Cross (SRC) project Multipurpose Cash Assistance for IDPs and Host Communities in North Kordofan aims to enable vulnerable people to meet their basic needs with dignity and flexibility. At the same time, it strengthens local humanitarian capacity by supporting the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS). This intervention is particularly relevant considering Sudan's ongoing conflict and displacement crisis, as it promotes people's self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and increases their sense of autonomy.

| Hintergrund | North Kordofan is one of Sudan's largest and most arid states, home to over three million people. The region has been severely affected by the ongoing conflict between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), including a prolonged siege of El Obeid, the state capital, which only ended in February 2025. The aftermth has left widespread food insecurity, damaged infrastructure, and a severely strained humanitarian situation. Moreover, North Kordofan hosts thousands of newly displaced individuals fleeing violence in nearby areas, further stretching already limited resources. While local markets remain operational, they re affected by soaring inflation and logistical constraints, leaving basic needs such as food, healthcare, and shelter largely unmet. This context underscores the urgency for emergency interventions, including Multilpurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA), to address critical humanitarian gaps. |
