Sida stödjer UNFPAs landprogram i Sudan genom ett icke-öronmärkt programstöd på 45 miljoner SEK under perioden 2017-2020. Landprogrammets totala budget är ca 40 miljoner USD under en programperiod på fyra år. Landprogrammet implementeras inom tre strategiska områden: sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa, jämställdhet och kvinnors egenmakt samt befolkningsutveckling.  Det övergripande målet för UNFPAs landprogram i Sudan är att minska mödradödlighet genom ett integrerat stöd till sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa, familjeplanering och genom att förebygga och hantera könsbaserat våld. Programmet syftar till att stärka den institutionella kapaciteten hos hälsovårdsministerier och det civila samhället inom prioriterade stater i Sudan. UNFPAs landprogram omfattar både utvecklingsinsatser och humanitärt stöd.
