Supporting Mutual Aid in Sudan: Conflict-Sensitive Approaches to Risk and Accountability

Mutual aid has been a lifeline for many in Sudan’s conflict. This study explores how mechanisms of social solidarity have been shaped by the war as well as by their interaction with external funders. It adds to the evidence base on community-led response during protracted crises and on conflict sensitivity, and considers how international actors could strengthen the quality of their partnership with grass-roots bodies by reconsidering approaches to risk and accountability.
