Since 2011, Trócaire has responded to the protracted humanitarian crisis in the South Kordofan, Sudan through the national/local organisations.

Our programme focuses on the provision of humanitarian assistance in the current context of the displacement crisis, delivering integrated health and nutrition services to remote communities and in strengthening food security, livelihoods and resilience. The programme is also responding to a rising health need in neighbouring Blue Nile State.
