IRC started cross-border (XB) interventions into Sudan in 2024 and currently manages a rapidly expanding program portfolio in non-government-controlled regions of Darfur (accessed from Chad) and South Kordofan (accessed from South Sudan). These interventions are managed separately from the Sudan country program, which implements programs in eastern Sudan in areas controlled by the de-facto Sudan government.

IRC intends to build its emergency cross-border interventions into Sudan into longer-term programming. To enable expansion across Sudan and to protect programming in eastern Sudan from any adverse political consequences arising from work in non-government-controlled areas, EHAU is managing this effort. Decisions on how and when to integrate cross-border programming into the Sudan country program and the East Africa region will be prepared and decided upon later in 2025.
