As the crisis in Sudan intensifies and the global funding crises deepens, the relationship between international humanitarian organisations and local responders has become both crucial and complicated.

CDAC's panel at Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week 2025 brought together international players, local organisations, and mutual aid groups to explore how information flows - or doesn't flow - between different levels of humanitarian response in Sudan. Through the lens of the ongoing crisis, panellists will examine practical challenges and emerging solutions in information, and power, sharing between "big aid" and "little aid."

Dr Zaza Johnson Elsheikh, BIMA Group
