The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have agreed to expedite the implementation of a health emergency and infrastructure project in Sudan. This decision came after a joint project monitoring mission to the country, which evaluated progress on the USD 55 million Sudan Health Emergency and Infrastructure Project (SHEIP).
The institutions agreed on measures to ensure the project meets its targets on time and reviewed performance, operational challenges, the results framework, and monitoring, evaluation, management, and coordination mechanisms. The program, funded by the African Development Fund and implemented by WHO, aims to improve access to essential primary health care and emergency services, strengthen Sudan's capacity to respond to public health emergencies, and build a more resilient local health system.
An estimated 33.7 million people in the country will need humanitarian assistance in 2026, with 21 million requiring health care.
