SOT Imad Eldin Abdelkhalig Abbas, Internally Displaced from Khartoum (Arabic)
“We fled here when the war broke out with the rest of the family and we received a generous welcome. Before, I used to work as a mechanic but once I got here I had no option but to work in farming. Thank God they welcomed us and gave us land in Kubady agricultural project.
They increased the arable land from 40 to 50 something feddans (1 feddan =4200 m2)
For Internally Displaced People (IDPs) who came from Khartoum like in myself they gave us everything we needed so we could farm. We received all the assistance from WFP and AfDB - it really helped us a lot. If it wasn’t for them, we would never have been able to farm, and thank God, this assistance came at a time when we were most in need.”

Background Information
SEWPP harvesters donation for smallholder farmers in Northern state (April 2024) as smallholder farmers in Northern state were supported by the Sudan Emergency Wheat Production (SEWPP) project, funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and executed by the World Food Programme (WFP). Reaching nearly 171,000 smallholders in just the recently concluded season alone, the targeted farmers produced at least over 669,200MT of wheat this year, averaging at 3.81MT/hectare, amounting to an average increase of 70 percentage from farmers harvesting in the previous season. The SEWPP project aims to help smallholder farmers boost wheat production in Al Gezira, River Nile, White Nile, Kassala and Northern states. In the states of River Nile and Northern, the SEWPP project supported 65,492 smallholder farmers with seeds and fertilisers to cultivate 230,000 Feddan (96,915 Hectare), to grow a total of 346,000mt of wheat with an average yield of 1.6mt per Feddan (3.8mt per hectare). This initiative was critical to supporting people affected by the conflict, as nearly a third of smallholders supported in Northern state are newly displaced IDPs.
