Context and Opportunities

Sudan is going through a period of great political and humanitarian instability. Basic infrastructure has been severely damaged. In this crisis context, decentralized, autonomous, and rapidly deployable solutions like RMS Impact are vital to support humanitarian services, health centers, and maintain a minimum of services for affected populations.

Potential Intervention Zones

Intervention would focus on relatively more stable regions such as the Nile, Gezira, and Northern states, in support of agricultural activities. Another focus would be to provide energy and connectivity to refugee and displaced persons camps in coordination with humanitarian agencies.

Institutional Partnership

Given the context, partnerships would be prioritized with United Nations agencies (UNHCR, WFP, UNDP) and major international NGOs operating in the country, which have critical needs for energy and communication.
