**JOB CONTEXT:**
Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion (HI) initiated its operations in Sudan in early 2024, in Gedaref State, initially providing technical, financial and operational support to a national NGO, with activities managed remotely due to access constraints. Following HI’s registration with the Sudanese authorities in December 2024, the organisation progressively expanded its operational footprint. In January 2025, HI opened a base in West Darfur (El Geneina) and began direct implementation, including hygiene kit distributions for households with malnourished children, cash-based food assistance, and the strengthening of inclusive humanitarian approaches. In October 2025, HI opened an office and the launch of direct activities in Al Jazirah State, with a focus on physical rehabilitation (including stimulation therapy for children under five) and Inclusive Humanitarian Action, implemented in consortium with humanitarian partners. In January 2026, in light of the emergency in North Darfur, HI opened an office in Tawila to deploy Atlas Logistique teams, which are responsible for providing storage and transport services for humanitarian actors. An Emergency Medical team is also working alongside MSF Hospital to provide post-surgical rehabilitation care.
