Sudan NextGen

What Sudan NextGen does

Sudan NextGen is a US-incorporated non-profit coalition founded in 2019 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, operating a digital platform focused on Sudan's transition to peace, freedom, and prosperity. The platform aggregates a directory of 500+ registered Sudanese experts and advisors (both inside and outside Sudan) alongside a curated catalog of 200+ development projects spanning education, healthcare, agriculture, and peace-building. Its main products are organized under three pillars: NextGen Projects (the project catalog), the Sudanese Experts Platform (expert directory), and NextGen Academy (Digital Jobs, e-Learning, and Startups modules for youth leadership development). A separate Donation Portal supports humanitarian campaigns such as Ramadan feeding, orphan education, war-victim relief, and farmer support.

The organization is operated by a small core team of approximately 6 employees and depends on donations and partnership programs as its revenue streams rather than commercial pricing. Distribution occurs through its own website (sudannextgen.com), Facebook live events, in-person conferences, and on-the-ground partners such as Kulana Qiyam and SAPA, with field implementation concentrated in Sudanese states including Red Sea, Sennar, and Al-Fashir. Strategic alliances include a Yale University partnership on a Maternity Telemedicine initiative and engagement with diaspora member organizations such as the University of Khartoum Alumni in North America (UoKANA) and the Sudanese American Engineers Association (SAEA).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Relief International: International humanitarian NGO with a long-standing Sudan presence focused on emergency response, health, and recovery. Comparable in mission (crisis-affected community support) and geography (Sudan field operations), but with established institutional donor backing and field offices.
• International Rescue Committee (IRC): Leading humanitarian organization responding to the world's worst crises, including active programming in Sudan. Overlaps with Sudan NextGen on humanitarian relief, health, and education-in-emergencies, and competes for the same donor pool.
• Mercy Corps: Major global humanitarian and development organization with active Sudan operations and a portfolio spanning food security, peacebuilding, and youth livelihoods. Comparable because it operates across the same multi-sector development scope Sudan NextGen targets, but at vastly larger scale and with institutional funding.
• Concern Worldwide: International humanitarian organization with active Sudan operations focused on livelihoods, health, nutrition, and education. Comparable multi-sector development scope and direct Sudan field operations, but at much larger institutional scale.
• Plan International: Global children's rights and youth-development organization with Sudan programming covering education, child protection, and youth livelihoods. Comparable to Sudan NextGen on the youth/education/orphan-support axis, with substantially larger institutional funding.
• Direct Relief: Large humanitarian aid organization providing medical and emergency物资 to crisis-affected populations including Sudan. Overlaps on war-victim relief, health-focused aid, and emergency humanitarian delivery to Sudanese populations.

Others

• UN OCHA Sudan: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs lead body for Sudan, coordinating hundreds of humanitarian actors. Relevant because Sudan NextGen's expert-directory and project-portfolio concept overlaps with OCHA's coordination mandate, though OCHA is a public-sector coordinator rather than a competing implementer.

Direct peers

• Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA): Diaspora-led medical professional association delivering healthcare support and capacity building inside Sudan. Comparable as a Sudanese-diaspora expert organization executing humanitarian projects in-country, similar to Sudan NextGen's expert network.
• Karam Foundation: Syrian-American diaspora-led nonprofit supporting education, arts, and community development for Syrian refugees and communities. Highly comparable diaspora-led, multi-sector development model with similar expert-volunteer mobilization and direct humanitarian programming.

Regional players

• Sudan Democracy First Group: Sudanese civil-society organization promoting democratic transition, civic participation, and reform. Comparable as a Sudan-focused multi-stakeholder platform mobilizing diaspora and local actors for national development and peacebuilding.
