The Sudan: Impact of shocks on livestock inputs, food supply chains and livestock livelihoods

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, through the Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) System, implemented a survey to assess the functionality of markets, the supply and accessibility of food items and livestock inputs, and to identify challenges experienced by livestock keepers and traders in the Sudan. This DIEM-Monitoring assessment, conducted from 25 March to 14 April 2024, covered one or two major markets in each Sudanese state that were functional at the time of data collection.The fifth round of DIEM-Monitoring in the Sudan adopted a qualitative approach through face-to-face surveys. Three separate questionnaires were administered targeting food traders, agricultural input traders and livestock extension officers. The survey covered 14 states: Blue Nile, East Darfur, Gedaref, Kassala, North Darfur, North Kordofan, Northern, Red Sea, River Nile, Sennar, South Darfur, South Kordofan, West Kordofan, and White Nile. The survey was not able to target respondents in Aj Jazirah, Central Darfur, Khartoum and West Darfur due to active conflict. Overall, 298 (273 male and 25 female) food traders, 302 (235 male and 67 female) livestock input traders and 255 (144 male and 111 female) livestock extension officers were reached.
