Adeela received $50,000 to support emergency response rooms through microgrants. Priorities are determined in coordination with the Localization Coordination Council, which ensures continuous aid delivery, supports the restoration of critical infrastructure, and promotes civic participation in governance during and after the ongoing war.

In 2025, Adeela received an additional $50,000 to strengthen its efforts in humanitarian response in Sudan by sustaining its Civil Society Hubs in Kassala and Kampala and the corresponding human resources needed to operate the spaces, a small grant to respond to dire humanitarian need, and efforts to develop a humanitarian response strategy for Adeela and its partners.

Centre for Humanitarian Leadership received $40,995.65* ($20,000 from the Sudan Humanitarian Crisis Fund and $20,995.65 from the Global Recovery Fund) to elevate, empower and strengthen regional and local civil society leadership in the Sudan, Ethiopia and DRC humanitarian responses, enhancing disaster recovery capabilities of local organizations by strengthening local leadership, knowledge, understanding, and ability to effectively engage with, advocate for their needs, and influence response and recovery plans.

The Humanitarian Leadership Academy received $26,500 through Save the Children UK in 2025 to convene a strategic dialogue at the Humanitarian Exchange (HX) event in Kampala that elevates local Sudanese leadership, drives peer learning and generates context-responsive solutions to complex crises. By facilitating collaboration between frontline responders, diaspora networks and global actors, HX aims to strengthen humanitarian effectiveness and equity where needed most.   

People-to-People received $87,225 to support the Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) through microgrants, with decision-making made in coordination with the Localization Coordination Council (LCC) who are ensuring continuous aid delivery, supporting the restoration of critical infrastructure, and promoting civic participation in governance during and after the ongoing war. This is part of CDP’s Commitment to Action made as part of the Coalition for Mutual Aid in Sudan.

The Sudan Crisis Coordination Unit, through the Sudanese Humanitarian Foundation, received $50,000 in 2025 to create a one-stop shop for coordinating support between local mutual aid responders, diaspora groups, international and national NGOs, and donors, enhancing and tangibly supporting locally led humanitarian response in Sudan.
