Overview
Background

Sudan is geographically located at the crossroads of Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East and stretches across the Red Sea. Sudan shares borders with seven countries including Libya and Egypt to the North, Chad to the West, and Central African Republic to the South-West, South Sudan to the South, Ethiopia to the South-East and Eritrea to the East. The White and Blue Niles meet in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, and merge to become the Nile River that flows all the way to the Mediterranean Sea via Egypt. Sudan has a Sahelian belt with the desert in the far north, fertile land in the Nile valleys, the Gezira and across the rest of the country from Darfur to Kassala via the Blue Nile and Kordofan States renowned for farming and livestock herding. Away from oil, agriculture and livestock sectors play an essential role to Sudan’s overall economy. The country has a population of approximately 43.9 million (2020) people. The country’s water, agriculture, coastal zone, and health sectors are the most vulnerable sectors to climate change impacts.
