In early November 2024, Sudan hosted two crucial workshops aimed at advancing its disaster early warning capabilities, with a focus on building resilience amidst the country’s unique challenges. Organized under the "Early Warnings for All" (EW4All) initiative, these workshops were held in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU). These workshops came to underscore Sudan's commitment to bolstering its disaster preparedness infrastructure by improving risk knowledge and fostering coordinated multi-sector responses.

The workshops brought together a diverse array of participants dedicated to strengthening Sudan’s disaster risk reduction and early warning systems. These included key stakeholders from various sectors, such as government agencies responsible for disaster risk management and meteorology, representatives from civil society organizations focused on climate and disaster information, Sudan Meteorological Agency (SMA), Sudanese Red Cross, and private sector partners, including mobile network operators. Broad participation also came from implementing partners of the EW4All initiative, media and broadcasters, and donor agencies.
