Operations Manager Atlas Logistique - Darfur Response - Sudan

Overview

Sudan continues to experience one of the world’s most severe and protracted humanitarian crises due to the armed conflict that erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has led to widespread destruction of infrastructure, the breakdown of basic services, and extremely limited humanitarian access in many areas. The scale of displacement is unprecedented. HI & Sudan Handicap International (HI) initiated its operations in Sudan in early 2024, 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 organization progressively expanded its operational footprint, opening offices and launching direct activities in West Darfur and Al Jazirah State.
