Ireland is a longstanding development and humanitarian donor to Sudan.

Since 2018, Ireland has provided over €12 million in humanitarian funding to Sudan. This funding is channelled through UN Agencies, international and Irish NGOs. This has enabled us to respond with the highest priority projects being implemented by the best placed responders.

Since 2018, Ireland has also provided approximately €5.5 million in longer-term development funding to Sudan, channelled through trusted international NGO partners, to support a range of sectors including livelihoods, health, nutrition, water and sanitation.  

Details of this funding since 2018 and particular partners is provided below, in tabular form.

As well as our direct contributions outlined above, Ireland contributes to pooled funds and collective humanitarian instruments such as the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).
