SOS Sahel Sudan is national NGO established in 2010 with long experience and engagement with farming and pastoralist communities in Sudan inherited from SOS Sahel UK. It is the legitimate daughter of the transformation of SOS Sahel International UK into a national NGO.

Its current Chair of Trustees is Dr. Abdel Mageed Mohamed Yahya, University Lecturer, Specialist on Geography, environmental studies and natural resources management. Its Executive Director is Mr Salih A. Majid Eldouma, Specialist on Agricultural Development and Rural finance, with over 25 years of experience in operating programs across Sudan (with SOS Sahel, Oxfam America, UN and Oxfam GB).
