April 2026 marks three years since the outbreak of the conflict in Sudan, which has severely disrupted economic activity, food systems, and social services. More than half of the country’s population is in need of assistance, and communities, markets, and institutions are under unprecedented pressure. Recent evidence from IFPRI and others highlights the scale and multidimensional nature of the crisis, with serious implications for poverty, food security, social protection, agricultural production, and trade.
Join us for the third-annual Sudan Conflict Conference, a recognized platform for evidence-based dialogue to support policy discussions, programmatic alignment, and strategic planning among researchers, policymakers, and humanitarian and development actors. The 2026 Conference will showcase key research outputs and feature the launch of War and Resilience: The Multifaceted Impacts of Sudan’s Conflict and Pathways to Recovery, a new IFPRI book that draws on diverse data sources, historical analysis, and expert forecasting to assess the impacts of Sudan’s conflict.
