Summary of needs
In 2025, 4.2 million people will require emergency SNFI assistance, including 2.9 million non-displaced, 877,244 IDPs and 410,000 returnees affected by conflict, flooding, drought and economic crisis. SNFI assistance remains a priority for displaced persons due to years of insufficient investment and unresolved HLP issues brought by conflict and climatic shocks. The ongoing conflict in Sudan has led to an influx of displaced individuals, many of whom arrive without basic necessities. Long-term IDPs in existing sites live in sub-standard conditions and require continued support for durable solutions. Poor living conditions are linked to overcrowding, and lack of privacy and access to basic household items. Displaced families taking refuge in public buildings such as schools and churches are exposed to heightened protection and health risks, while access to education and community activities is restricted for both displaced and non-displaced.

Response strategy
Emergency SNFI assistance will respond to the needs of newly displaced families. SNFI materials will be pre-positioned across the country through the core pipeline to enable partners to respond rapidly. Cash-based interventions will be adopted where feasible. The cluster will support the most vulnerable long-term IDPs through shelter repairs while facilitating the recovery and return processes. Improving coordination will enhance responses, foster partner capacity-building and encourage collaboration across sectors to ensure a holistic approach. The cluster will ensure the provision of culturally appropriate and gender-sensitive SNFI to meet the specific needs of women and girls.

NRC/Leju DingiriTargeting and prioritization
The SNFI Cluster plans to reach 1.37 million people with assistance, prioritizing geographical areas 1 and 2. The cluster will engage with development partners, financial institutions, the private sector and the Government to tackle the shelter needs of individuals in priority areas 3, 4 and 5. This prioritization is informed by the inter-sectoral analysis of geographical severity and the Global Shelter Severity Analysis Framework, while considering resource availability. The response is guided by rapid needs assessments, with SNFI partners targeting the most vulnerable groups such as the elderly, people with specific needs, individuals with no community links and female-headed households.
Promoting accountability and inclusive programming
Engaging with the community helps identify protection concerns and informs SNFI responses to promote equity and access to assistance. Involving affected people in needs assessments, monitoring and evaluations allows for tailored interventions and continuous programme refinement. Key elements will include (i) joint monitoring and response systems; (ii) staff training on AAP and accessibility of information to all stakeholders; (iii) complaints and feedback mechanisms to empower stakeholders to voice their concerns and encourage partners to address them promptly; (iv) gender considerations and promotion of the participation of women and people with special needs; and (v) environmental considerations to minimize negative impacts and promote sustainable SNFI programmes.
