Evidence snapshot for Sudan
Sudan faces severe humanitarian and educational challenges documented across multiple interventions. Can't Wait to Learn's digital game-based learning programme has demonstrated that tablet-based literacy and numeracy instruction can achieve nearly 2.7 times greater reading gains and roughly 2 times greater maths gains than the government's Alternative Learning Programme for out-of-school children aged 7–9, though the same evaluation found a statistically significant negative effect on self-esteem. By September 2025, Sudan's ongoing civil war had driven 21.2 million people (45% of the population) into Crisis-level food insecurity, with famine confirmed in multiple areas, as WFP's field data collection footprint shrank 25% over the past year, increasingly relying on machine-learning nowcasting to fill gaps in conflict-affected regions.
