Summary
A new coalition of 15 nonprofits and humanitarian organizations, named the Coalition for Mutual Aid in Sudan, is set to launch at this year’s Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) annual meeting. The coalition aims to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan, committing to donate at least $2 million to local mutual aid groups by the end of the year, with a goal to raise an additional $4.5 million over the next two years.
This initiative comes in response to the severe humanitarian situation in Sudan, where more than 25 million people face acute hunger due to ongoing conflict that began in April 2023. The coalition includes notable organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Global Giving, highlighting the urgency of supporting local community groups that have become the primary responders to the crisis. With over 12 million people displaced and the conflict complicating international aid efforts, the coalition emphasizes the importance of local solutions in reaching those most in need. The CGI meeting, themed “What’s Working,” will also feature discussions on various global issues, showcasing the collaborative efforts of political, business, and philanthropic leaders to find effective solutions during tumultuous times.
