Sudan's access to basic services, particularly healthcare, sanitation, and energy has been catastrophically disrupted by the devastating conflict and severe economic collapse. 

Energy: With a staggering 65% of Sudan's population deprived of electricity access, UNDP champions powerful renewable energy initiatives through solar power, transforming healthcare facilities and water systems to fortify their resilience. These interventions accelerate clean energy transformation, galvanize local communities, and minimize environmental degradation. 

Healthcare: UNDP enhances healthcare delivery by constructing, rehabilitating, and upgrading facilities to withstand disease outbreaks and extreme weather, ensuring the supply of life-saving medicines, with special attention to maternal and child health.

Water and Sanitation: By implementing robust systems for clean water access, sanitation, and dependable energy, UNDP drives Sudan's fundamental development and stability. This comprehensive strategy integrates vital climate resilience measures, strengthening Sudan's capacity to overcome environmental challenges and ensure universal access to essential services, establishing an unshakeable foundation for a sustainable future.
