Since 2020, CIMA Research Foundation has collaborated with the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) in Sudan, focusing on strengthening local governance and essential services for vulnerable communities in the Mayo area, near Khartoum. Through field missions, it conducted hydraulic risk surveys and assessments, contributing to flood and drought mitigation actions. In 2021, the collaboration expanded with the APIS project, aimed at enhancing at national level the Early Warning System of Sudan, improving disaster preparedness and management. CIMA supported Sudan with technological tools, training and operational procedures for civil protection operations. With the outbreak of conflict in 2023, the project had to adapt to a more complex situation, focusing on restoration and sustainment of warning services to support humanitarian operations during the emergency, strengthening coordination with the regional network of partners, aligning with the Early Warning 4 All initiative. In February 2025, the new Situation Room of the National Council for Civil Defence (NCCD) in Port Sudan was officially opened, with this very important step the country regains an operational infrastructure for alert dissemination and emergency management. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
