6 million **Country:** Regional Sudan Crisis This funding will provide life-saving humanitarian assistance, such as the delivery of food and nutrition, shelter, protection (including sexual and gender-based violence response), emergency health care, water, sanitation and hygiene, and other essential relief services.

**Project:**Building Resilient and Inclusive Teaching and Education Systems in Sudan (BRITE Sudan) **Partner:** Save the Children Canada **Funding:**$18 million (2026 to 2030) This project aims to improve and strengthen access to safe, quality and crisis-resilient education. Canada’s contribution will help ensure continued learning for 60,000 children amidst the world’s longest school closures due to conflict.

The project focuses especially on girls and survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and gender-based violence.

By addressing the massive school disruption caused by the ongoing conflict, this initiative seeks to empower children to claim their right to education, improve the gender responsiveness and overall quality of learning environments and reinforce child-protection mechanisms that safeguard students and support resilient education systems in a complex emergency context.

**Project:**Combatting and Responding to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Sudan **Partner:** UN Population Fund (UNFPA) **Funding:**$7 million (2026) Canada is providing an increase of $7 million this year to extend this initiative’s activities for an additional six months to December 2026 in response to rising sexual and gender-based violence in Darfur and Kordofan.

Canada has already contributed $8 million to this initiative, bringing Canada’s total to $15 million. Recent escalation of violence in North Darfur, particularly El Fasher, and South Kordofan, characterized by widespread sexual violence, has heightened displacement and sexual and gender-based violence risks, demanding urgent expansion of services for displaced women and girls.

Canada’s additional support will support the continued provision of clinical care and psychosocial support for rape survivors across eight states and scale interventions to Darfur and Kordofan. It will reach 80,000 more people with direct services and 400,000 people by strengthening protection systems an expanding life-saving services.

**Project:**Supporting Pro-Democratic Sudanese Civilian Actors and Platforms for Peace **Partner:** Norwegian People’s Aid, implemented by Leadership Initiatives for Transformation **Funding:**$500,000 (2026) This project aims to strengthen the capacity, legitimacy and coordination of Sudanese civilian actors to shape and lead inclusive political and peace processes.

It will provide support to pro-democratic actors alongside independent civilian networks and youth and women’s platforms within and outside Sudan.

This work will include establishing and operationalizing inclusive civilian coordination mechanisms, providing training to pro-democracy actors to enhance organizational and strategic capacities, convening regional consultations and dialogue and facilitating civilian engagement, including youth and women, with the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and UN-led mediation processes.
