February 2026- Sudan is facing one of the world’s most severe and complex humanitarian crises, driven by armed conflict, mass displacement, economic collapse, weakened state institutions, recurring disease outbreaks, escalating natural disasters and climate shocks. The ongoing conflict has resulted in the largest internally displaced population globally (over 7.3 million) and the collapse of livelihoods, markets, and services across the country. Over 30 million people (more than half the population), of whom 48% are children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. With GAC’s support, Plan International Canada helps provide life-saving multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), child protection support and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services to vulnerable refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in Ouaddaï in Chad, Upper Nile in South Sudan, and North Darfur and and North Kordofan in Sudan. Project activities include: (1) providing urgent child case protection management; (2) establishing and operating child- and adolescent-friendly spaces; (3) establishing and training community-based child protection mechanisms; (4) providing multi-purpose cash assistance to the families of children and adolescents with acute needs; (5) rehabilitating boreholes to provide clean and safe drinking water; (6) establishing fully functioning and well-maintained WASH facilities; (7) launching hygiene promotion campaigns; and (8) providing WASH-related non-food items and hygiene kits to children, adolescent girls and boys and their households.
