Sudan’s information war: How weaponised online narratives shape the humanitarian crisis and response examines how misinformation and disinformation have become weapons of war in Sudan's humanitarian crisis, directly obstructing aid delivery and fueling violence. While humanitarian organisations recognise these threats, their responses remain fragmented and reactive.

This report examines Sudan's evolving conflict dynamics and their impact on humanitarian action and civil society operations after three years of war. It presents broad recommendations and possible responses based on ongoing transformations, including the proposal of new initiatives and directions to safeguard and support civil society and humanitarian work.

The local lifelines project aims to improve the humanitarian information ecosystem by supporting an enabling environment for greater localised humanitarian action in Sudan.

In February 2025 and December 2024, CDAC Network convened two roundtables on Sudan to share recommendations with ERR, mutual aid groups, diaspora representatives, UN, donors, INGOs and conflict researchers.
