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.
The LCC currently has the following Sudanese NGOs: KACE, GISA-Localization Hub, Alayam, GISR, Adeela, SAPA, Nidaa and People to People. It has the following 9 state ERRs: Khartoum State, Sennar, North, South, East, West and Central Darfur, West, South Kordofan, Al Jazeera. Finally it has SaferWorld as an Observer international NGO while in talks with DCA, ACTED and DRC to enter. Each of the local bodies in the LCC contributes to the joint decision-making of the body.
As resources are provided to support mutual aid efforts, the LCC, through the voices of each of the representatives, makes decisions on which regions of Sudan to direct the resources and to the local Sudanese organizations working in those areas.
How We Work
- Community-Led Decision-Making: ERRs and Sudanese NGOs take the lead in determining priority needs and directing aid.
- Resource Coordination: LCC facilitates joint planning to maximize impact with limited resources.
- Strategic Planning for Long-Term Stability: While responding to immediate crises, we also plan for mid- and long-term recovery.
- Inclusive & Transparent Process: Decisions are made collectively, ensuring equitable access to support across Sudan.
