About

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) invites expressions of interest from partners to strengthen access to quality health and nutrition services for forcibly displaced persons, returnees, and host communities in North Kordofan, Sudan. This initiative aligns with Sudan’s Health Sector Recovery and Strategic Plan 2026–2030 and supports progress toward Universal Health Coverage and health security through a resilient, people‑centered Primary Health Care approach.

The program emphasizes integration of refugees and stateless persons into national and local health systems, shifting from fragmented humanitarian responses to government‑led, nationally owned solutions that promote equity, sustainability, and resilience. UNHCR will support operational and catalytic measures such as refugee‑inclusive health policies, local system strengthening, community health capacity building, and sustained access to essential care.

Key activities include supporting human resources for health, training community health workers, providing emergency services for new arrivals, outbreak preparedness and surveillance, and delivering comprehensive primary healthcare services. These cover malaria, TB/HIV, malnutrition screening, anaemia prevention, sexual and reproductive health, mental health and psychosocial support, and non‑communicable disease management. The program also facilitates timely referrals to secondary and specialized care, strengthens medicines and supply chain management, and promotes multisectoral linkages with protection, gender‑based violence, and mental health services.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants must demonstrate proven capacity to deliver health and nutrition services in refugee camps, points of entry, transit and reception centers, and within host communities. Organizations should have the ability to collaborate effectively with UNHCR, the Sudanese Ministry of Health, and other stakeholders, ensuring alignment with national health strategies and operational frameworks. Applicants must show technical expertise, operational presence, and the ability to function in complex humanitarian and public health contexts.
