189 districts with published data·Fetched: 2026-09-20

The main finding

In 2 of the 187 districts where people are recorded in food crisis, at most one organisation is listed. The largest is ⁨Ar Rahad (North Kordofan)⁩, where 65,640 people are in food crisis and no organisation is listed.

The operational presence dataset lists organisations that reported activity through a country's coordination structures. Reporting is voluntary and incomplete, and small local organisations are the least likely to appear. A district showing few or no organisations may be well served by groups that never report. Please use the correction and declaration forms to tell us what we are missing.

Thin coverage

Districts ranked by gap score: people in food crisis divided by the number of listed organisations plus one. A high score means a lot of recorded need and very few organisations listed.
