Adapting food assistance during crisis in Sudan: Lessons from Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA)
In this podcast, we take a closer look at the Field Exchange issue 76 article - Adapting food assistance during crisis in Sudan, exploring how humanitarian actors are responding to famine conditions in one of today’s most complex emergencies. With famine declared in parts of Sudan in 2025 and millions displaced since the outbreak of conflict in 2023, food assistance programmes are operating under extreme pressure. Host Astrid Klomp and co-host Mimi Kuer Bior speak with Mohamed Almahal, Executive Director of the Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA), and Selma Albashier, Humanitarian Relief Coordinator, about how SAMA has adapted its food assistance strategies to meet rapidly evolving needs. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding local context, working closely with trusted local partners and remaining flexible in programme design. Mohamed and Selma share practical insights into selecting and supporting local implementing partners, navigating access constraints and managing coordination challenges, including duplication of efforts and beneficiary targeting in high-need settings.
