With the people of Sudan. Yesterday, today, tomorrow

INTRODUCTION

The European Union remains steadfast in its support for the Sudanese people, even in the face of ongoing conflict. Through innovative partnerships and rapid adaptation, EU-funded programs continue to deliver essential services—from healthcare and education to food security—often in the face of significant challenges. We are committed to laying the foundation for Sudan’s future. While Sudan may not yet qualify as a Global Gateway country, it holds significant potential to become one once peace is fully restored, enabling its integration into the global socio-economic network. The EU stands firmly with the Sudanese people—yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUDAN

EDUCATION

We work to improve access to quality, inclusive education for primary school-age children in Sudan, including children with disabilities, refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and out-of-school children. Additionally, we enhance teaching by providing training in emergency education and offering psychosocial support to both teachers and students.

FOOD SECURITY & LIVELIHOODS

We support Sudanese communities affected by conflict, food insecurity, and climate change. Our efforts focus on promoting sustainable livelihoods, improving agricultural practices, strengthening local economies, and advocating for inclusive, community-led management of natural resources to foster long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.

HEALTH

We strive to improve access to primary healthcare services for vulnerable communities in Sudan, including IDPs and refugees. Our initiatives also aim to strengthen local health systems, upgrade infrastructure, and enhance preparedness for and responses to epidemics and public health crises.

HUMAN RIGHTS

We work to promote and protect the rights of all Sudanese people, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups such as women, children, displaced persons, refugees, and migrants. We also support human rights defenders and journalists, safeguarding press freedom and ensuring access to accurate and fair information.
