The Sudan Platform for Agriculture and Food Security (SPAFS) has played a pivotal role in advancing agricultural development in Al-Managil. By providing farmers with access to modern farming techniques, quality seeds, and training programs, SPAFS has significantly increased crop yields and food production in the region. Their efforts in promoting sustainable agricultural practices have also helped conserve the local environment while boosting economic stability for farming communities. Additionally, SPAFS facilitates market access and strengthens supply chains, ensuring that farmers in Al-Managil can effectively sell their produce and improve their livelihoods.

The Sudan Platform for Agriculture and Food Security (SPAFS) actively supports internally displaced persons (IDPs) in New Halfa by facilitating vegetable production initiatives aimed at strengthening food security for displaced families. Through the provision of seeds, tools, and technical training, SPAFS empowers IDPs to cultivate nutrient-rich vegetables on small plots of land, enhancing their access to fresh produce and improving their overall nutrition. This initiative not only promotes self-sufficiency among displaced households but also contributes to the stabilization of local food systems, ensuring that vulnerable families receive a sustainable supply of essential vegetables despite their challenging circumstances.

Volunteers at a WFP-supported community kitchen in Khartoum are dedicated to serving hot soup to hungry residents, providing vital nourishment to those affected by food insecurity. Their efforts contribute significantly to the community’s well-being, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive regular, nutritious meals amidst challenging circumstances. This initiative highlights the critical role of humanitarian support in addressing hunger and promoting food security in Sudan.
