The National Humanitarian Access Authority (NAHA) under the Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) government has announced a one-month extension for the registration and accreditation of international and local humanitarian organizations, pushing the deadline to June 13.
In a statement reviewed by Radio Dabanga, the authority said the extension was intended to allow more time for organizations to complete technical and administrative procedures “smoothly and efficiently.”
The move follows an earlier directive issued on April 13 requiring all organizations operating in areas controlled by the Peace Government to register and obtain accreditation within one month. The decision sparked concern among aid organizations, while authorities in Port Sudan warned UN agencies against signing agreements or registering with the TASIS administration.
NAHA said 36 out of 43 international organizations operating in the region had already responded positively to the registration process, alongside around 138 local organizations working in areas under the Peace Government’s control.
The authority said the extension came after ongoing discussions with humanitarian partners and was aimed at ensuring the uninterrupted flow of aid and essential services to civilians in TASIS-held areas.
It urged organizations that had not yet completed the process to continue coordinating with technical teams during the extended period to avoid disruptions to their operations.
NAHA described the decision as part of broader efforts to organize and improve the humanitarian working environment while facilitating the activities of aid partners serving communities affected by the conflict.
Under the new regulations issued by NAHA, foreign organizations operating in Sudan are required to sign detailed technical agreements for each project, including implementation areas, operational mechanisms, and monitoring and evaluation standards.
The decision also requires UN agencies to reopen offices in all Peace Government-controlled areas within 45 days, warning that delays could affect future approvals, including entry permits.
