Decolonized Mutual Aid
A growing coordination body that brings together the Emergency Response Rooms and Sudanese and international organisations.
The council was formed after the war broke out in Khartoum on 15 April 2023; its charter dates from 27 November 2023. It links grassroots action, emergency response and local governance, and aims to provide mutual aid based on a localised solidarity economy through partnerships with local and international organisations — directing limited resources to where needs are most urgent, planning short-, mid- and long-term humanitarian aid, peacebuilding and development, and protecting the autonomy of the Emergency Response Rooms.
Accountability — to the community and partners.
Participation — services provided by the community, for the community.
Transparency — open sharing of data.
Equality — in providing services and sharing resources.
Collective decisions, priorities from the ground, documented processes
State representatives are the highest decision-making authority. Decisions are made by consensus; disputes go to a Consensus Committee.
The Emergency Response Rooms and Sudanese organisations lead in setting priority needs and directing resources to where they are most urgent.
A structured process for planning, approval and documentation across the Rooms and partners — from proposals, evaluation and contracts to activity and financial reports (F1–F5).
External Communications, Programming, Finance and Reporting — from building partnerships and running programmes to publishing reports in Arabic and English.
Representatives of 13 state Emergency Response Rooms, 9 Sudanese organisations and 6 international organisations as observers
