Equitable Access to Essential Services

Sudan's access to basic services, particularly healthcare, sanitation, and energy has been catastrophically disrupted by the devastating conflict and severe economic collapse. 

Energy: With a staggering 65% of Sudan's population deprived of electricity access, UNDP champions powerful renewable energy initiatives through solar power, transforming healthcare facilities and water systems to fortify their resilience. These interventions accelerate clean energy transformation, galvanize local communities, and minimize environmental degradation. 

Healthcare: UNDP enhances healthcare delivery by constructing, rehabilitating, and upgrading facilities to withstand disease outbreaks and extreme weather, ensuring the supply of life-saving medicines, with special attention to maternal and child health.

Water and Sanitation: By implementing robust systems for clean water access, sanitation, and dependable energy, UNDP drives Sudan's fundamental development and stability. This comprehensive strategy integrates vital climate resilience measures, strengthening Sudan's capacity to overcome environmental challenges and ensure universal access to essential services, establishing an unshakeable foundation for a sustainable future.

Main achievements in 2024:

  • 2.5 million people have improved primary health care access including antimalarial, HIV and TB  treatment services in which IDP's, returnees, refugees and other mobile populations were provided with TB testing.

  • Over 600,000 Sudanese now have improved access to clean and sustainable energy through solar power.

  • UNDP's initiative brings 16 million liters of clean water daily, revolutionizing life in priority communities.
