10 Jul 2025

World map with red pin in SudanThe Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) has today published more information about our forthcoming review assessing the UK’s support for Sudan and people affected by the crisis in neighbouring countries.

Sudan is currently facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, caused by ongoing conflict. Over 11.4 million people are now displaced and over 3 million people, mainly women and children, have fled to neighbouring countries. Famine was officially declared in ZamZam internally displaced persons camp in August 2024 and has now spread to 10 additional areas. Sudan-wide, around 25 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection services.

Sudan is a diplomatic and funding priority for the UK. Aid funding to Sudan has increased since fighting broke out in April 2023. The prime minister confirmed the UK would continue to play a key humanitarian role in Sudan, following the announcement of the reduction of official development assistance to 0.3% of UK gross national income.

We expect to publish this review in Autumn 2025.
