Eyes on Sudan’s neighbours_Prospects for strengthening localised response: EU and UNHCR joint event on the regional impact of the war in Sudan

The European Union (EU) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) jointly organised an event on the regional impact of the war in Sudan on 10 April 2025. The event featured a high-level panel with refugee hosting governments followed by a discussion with key regional representatives, donors, humanitarian actors and refugees from Sudan. It brought together 270 participants online.

This joint EU-UNHCR event aimed to underscore the regional dimension of the Sudan crisis and highlight the achievements and challenges of host governments, donors, and humanitarian actors, including local civil society. The event and outcome recommendations will inform discussions at the 15 April London Sudan Conference co-hosted by the United Kingdom, the European Union, France, Germany and the African Union, helping to ensure that the regional dimension is effectively represented.
