The fighting has spread across much of the country, with particularly intense violence in Darfur, Kordofan, Khartoum, and surrounding regions. The conflict has led to widespread destruction of infrastructure, the breakdown of basic services, and extremely limited humanitarian access in many areas. The scale of displacement is unprecedented. Recent UN estimates indicate that more than 11 million people have been forcibly displaced inside Sudan, with around 9 million currently displaced, and over 4 million more seeking refuge in neighboring countries such as Chad, South Sudan, Egypt, and Ethiopia. This makes it the largest displacement crisis globally, not including the rising number of returnees in some areas, who often return to destroyed homes and very limited access to essential services. Across the country, about 33 million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance, reflecting the collapse of health, nutrition, and protection systems. Darfur remains one of the most severely affected regions, with a total of 7.6 million people in need. Ongoing fighting and repeated attacks on towns such as El Fasher and surrounding localities have triggered repeated waves of displacement into already overcrowded areas and across the border into Chad. Communities face extreme food insecurity, with reports of famine conditions in parts of North and West Darfur. Many households survive on very limited meals. Malnutrition rates among children are critically high, and outbreaks of diseases such as cholera and measles have been recorded due to damaged water systems and weakened health services. Overall, the situation remains highly volatile. Continued fighting, restricted humanitarian access, and underfunded relief efforts are driving worsening hunger, displacement, and protection risks across Darfur and the wider region. HI background & history Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion (HI) initiated its operations in Sudan in early 2024, in Gedaref State, initially providing technical, financial and operational support to a national NGO, with activities managed remotely due to access constraints. Following HI’s registration with the Sudanese authorities in December 2024, the organisation progressively expanded its operational footprint. In January 2025, HI opened a base in West Darfur (El Geneina) and began direct implementation, including hygiene kit distributions for households with malnourished children, cash-based food assistance, and the strengthening of inclusive humanitarian approaches. In October 2025, HI opened an office and the launch of direct activities in Al Jazirah State, with a focus on physical rehabilitation (including stimulation therapy for children under five) and Inclusive Humanitarian Action, implemented in consortium with humanitarian partners. In January 2026, in light of the emergency in North Darfur, HI opened an office in Tawila to deploy Atlas Logistique teams, which are responsible for providing storage and transport services for humanitarian actors. An Emergency Medical team is also working alongside MSF Hospital to provide post-surgical rehabilitation care. **YOUR MISSION:** The Grant Officer supports the proper management of institutional grants for the Sudan mission across the full project cycle.
