About us
The LCC is a growing coordination entity that includes representatives from 13 state ERRs, 8 local Sudanese NGOs that prioritize grassroot work and currently working on including 4 international NGOs as observers.
Through the LCC, the organizations coordinate, strategize and share resources. Through the LCC, member organizations triage priorities and direct finite resources to those locations in Sudan where the needs are the most urgent while planning for the short, mid and long term humanitarian aid, peace building and development of Sudan.

Videos & Podcasts
An Archive that houses our stories, lessons learned, hopes, fears and collective thought
The aim of the Mutual Aid Archive is to ensure that experience and lessons from the ERRs are being captured and made openly available to all actors to learn from. This will require development of a simple multi-media platform aimed to document the daily achievements, experiences, challenges, dreams and visions of the volunteers and communities at the grassroots. We think about the media in a different way, which means looking at its local impact more than using it as an idea for advocacy or lobbying, and thinking about how it can be the beginning of a collective dream for people to create their communal vision in their area.
