This budget will particularly enable the financing of up to CHF500,000 for the activities of the Norwegian Refugee Council NGO in Sudan. In addition, CHF1 million will go to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), to finance projects by local and international NGOs as well as UN organisations.
The UN World Food Program (WFP) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will each benefit from CHF1 million for their projects in South Sudan.
In Chad, Switzerland is contributing CHF1.5 million to activities carried out by various UN organisations.
In total, Switzerland's 2023 financial contribution to tackling the crisis in Sudan and the neighbouring countries currently amounts to more than CHF45 million.
