Context
Sudan continues to experience a complex humanitarian crisis, driven by conflict, displacement, and severe economic hardship. Gedarif State, hosting thousands of displaced families, faces rising levels of food insecurity, especially in rural and hard-to-reach localities.
According to the Food Security Cluster, only 28% of food assistance needs in Gedarif have been met, leaving an estimated 290,000+ individuals without adequate support. Critical gaps persist in remote localities such as Al Fao, Gala’a Al Nahal, and Basundah, where humanitarian access remains limited.
Between March and June 2025, SAMA implemented a food distribution project that reached over 8,270 vulnerable individuals through monthly food baskets. SAMA is offering $15,000 SDGs to a reliable local partner to continue its project where gaps need to be filled.
Objective
The objective of this RFP is to select an experienced and capable local organization to implement a food basket distribution project in remote areas in Gedarif State, where vulnerable communities are located. The intervention aims to fill critical gaps in food assistance for underserved communities, as identified by the latest Food Security Cluster Gap Analysis.
