Sudan Conflict Affected-Populations Lifesaving Emergency Response (SCALE)
The conflict that broke out in Sudan on 15 April 2023 has led to a severe humanitarian crisis. Through the SCALE project, Mercy-Corps (MC) provides vulnerable conflict-affected and displaced individuals with Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) as well as food security and livelihoods support to meet their basic needs and enhance their coping capacities. SCALE adopts a nexus approach, leveraging MCs existing development and peacebuilding programming. Working alongside local partners, the project aims to amplify the voices of conflict-affected women and demonstrate the power of collective influence and action to address priority needs.

| Contexto | On 15 April 2023 fighting broke out in Khartoum between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and quickly spread to other parts of Sudan. As a result the political transition process came to a halt and escalating violence has been dramatically impacting the humanitarian situation, as well as human rights, and international law. Eleven months since the conflict erupted, some 24.8m people - half of Sudan’s population- need humanitarian assistance and protection. More than 8.1m people were displaced including 1.66m who have fled across borders to Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. The fighting has created one of the world’s largest displacement and protection crises, and is likely to result in the world’s largest hunger crisis in decades. In addition, Sudan is ranked amongst the most vulnerable countries globally to climate change, and experiences heightened risks of climate-related events that exacerbate the vulnerability of small-scale farmers and herders, house-holds (HHs) without assets, and IDPs. |
| Objetivos | To enable communities affected by conflict or shocks to meet their basic needs, recover from crises, and improve their weII-being. |
| Grupos destinarios | SCALE will be implemented in three localities in South Kordofan and four localities in Gedaref state. It directly targets 13,300 (60% female and 40% male) and indirectly 66,500 IDPs / CAPs. |
