Summary
In 2023, the outbreak of conflict in Sudan resulted in an unprecedented humanitarian crisis marked by a sharp rise in levels of acute food insecurity among the Sudanese people. From May to December, WFP overcame significant challenges to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance to millions of people, amidst raging conflict. In total, WFP reached approximately 8.4 million beneficiaries throughout 2023 overall (55 percent female). This included provision of general food assistance to around 5.8 million people (45 percent male/55 percent female. WFP also reached 394,302 children (6-59 months) pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBW/Gs) with specialized nutritious food for prevention and treatment of moderate acute malnutrition. Major achievements include breakthroughs in reaching people in West and Central Darfur through the Chad-Sudan Border, as well as accessing people with life-saving assistance in Khartoum, a major battlefield. In addition, WFP reached close to 1 million school-going children with school meals and take-home rations during the first quarter while schools remained partially open. A focus for WFP Sudan was the restructuring of the school feeding programme by pursuing a transition from regular school feeding activities to home grown school feeding (HGSF).
