ALIMA
South Khartoum, Sudan
Head of Mission - Sudan - M/F

ALIMA IN SUDAN

ALIMA conducted two exploratory missions in Khartoum in May 2021 and one in South

Kordofan in August 2021 which led to the opening of two projects and a subsequent exploratory mission in North Darfur in October 2022:
- In August 2021, ALIMA launched a project supporting the Omdurman Isolation Center in the capital Khartoum in collaboration with the Sudanese Federal Ministry of Health. ALIMA teams facilitated the management of COVID-19 cases in the center through human resources support and training, as well as providing medical supplies (medicines and equipment). In February 2022, ALIMA worked to increase access to medical oxygen by installing a PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Oxygen Plant at the Al Shaab Hospital, a 350-bed specialist referral hospital for cardiac and respiratory diseases in Khartoum which also is designated as a referral COVID-19 Treatment Center for severe cases. The new PSA Oxygen Plant provides general wards and the operating theater with direct access to oxygen. MoH staff have been trained in Oxygen Therapy for optimal case management and in preventive and curative maintenance of key biomedical equipment. The PSA Plant was handed over to the hospital in February 2023.

- In November 2021 ALIMA launched activities to support comprehensive emergency obstetrics and newborn care in the Maternity Department of the Kadugli Teaching Hospital in South Kordofan. In 2022, ALIMA increased its coverage of health and nutrition needs in the region with additional support for primary healthcare services at two public health centers and three mobile clinics in the Kadugli and Reif Arshargi localities. Subsequently, ALIMA further increased its activities supporting inpatient treatment in the Maternity and Paediatric wards. In January 2023, ALIMA implemented a rapid response to the influx of over 6,500 people newly displaced by conflict in Al Lagawa (West Kordofan) gathered at the Kadugli Bus Station Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp.

- In 2023, ALIMA will continue its activities in South Kordofan with additional nutrition activities for the treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and open a new project in North Darfur to support primary healthcare centers in two IDP Camps and a nutrition

-In October 2022, ALIMA conducted an assessment in El Fasher, North Darfur. ECHO validated a proposal to support 2 IDP camps and the Stabilization Centre at the Pediatric Hospital. However, the day we were to begin the project, the current war broke out in Sudan. The project was temporarily put on hold.

ALIMA is currently looking for a Head of Mission to work to reestablish the coordination team that was evacuated at the start of the war in April. The new Head of Mission will start his/her contract remotely at ALIMA HQ in Dakar while we ensure all conditions are met in terms of security and safety for international staff to organise a new coordination base in Port Sudan, if visas are granted. As Khartoum remains inaccessible, the coordination will be based temporarily in Dakar/Port Sudan. The team will open the new project in North Darfur remotely and follow the continuing activities in Kadugli. The Head of Mission will very much be focussed on representation within the various meetings to follow the overall context in Sudan to help inform decision making for the mission.
