The Sudan Integrated Social Sector Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project, designated under the acronym SISSIRP, constitutes a major humanitarian and social development initiative aimed at improving living conditions and resilience of Sudanese populations in the context of an acute humanitarian crisis.
