Sudan

UNDP, working in partnership with the Global Fund and national partners, has put 7,600 people on ART for HIV and successfully treated 35,000 people for TB.

Since 2005, UNDP has been working in partnership with the Global Fund to support national efforts to respond to HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria as well as strengthen health systems in Sudan. UNDP’s TB programme has been aimed at scaling up Directly Observed Treatment, Short-Course (DOTs), including in war-affected and post conflict regions, whilst also raising awareness amongst communities and in political circles.

Key results - malaria

The malaria grant managed by UNDP (now transferred to the Ministry of Health) aimed to increase the percentage of malaria patients receiving prompt and effective treatment and to reach 85% coverage with long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs). This included providing first line treatment free of charge; expanding home based management; improving clinical and laboratory diagnosis; and strengthening the Malaria Early Warning System (MEWS).

Key results - HIV

The HIV/AIDS programme in Sudan has been focused on reducing HIV transmission and HIV mortality first by increasing the availability of HIV/AIDS facilities nationwide and second by targeting high risk and vulnerable population groups. The expansion of the national HIV/AIDS response has included: an increase in confidential counselling and testing facilities; free distribution of condoms and social marketing; ensuring that blood transfusions in hospitals are from non-remunerated voluntary donors; and that people living with HIV and AIDS receive care and support. The latest round of funding (started in 2018) continues efforts to scale up prevention and treatment programmes with the aim of maintaining prevalence rates for key populations and the general population at below 2.5% and 0.3% respectively.
