ALIMA promotes and defends the principles of fundamental human rights. ALIMA has a zero-tolerance
approach towards those guilty of acts of gender and sexual violence as well as towards inaction in the
face of alleged or proven acts of violence. The protection of those benefiting from and impacted by our
intervention is our top priority in everything we do. Everyone collaborating with ALIMA is committed to :
● Respect the charter, the code of conduct, the institutional policies including the policy of
protection against abuse of power and sexist and sexual violence, the policy of prevention of
corruption and fraud;
● Report any violation of the policies, framework documents, and procedures to a superior, to a
referent.
CARING – INNOVATING – TOGETHER
Since its creation in 2009, ALIMA has reached over 18 million beneficiaries in 15 countries, mainly in
Africa. In 2024, we have implemented 59 humanitarian medical response projects to address the needs
of populations affected by conflict, epidemics and extreme poverty. All of these projects are carried out
in support of national health authorities through healthcare facilities (including hospitals and health
centres). Our work is driven by a constant adaptation to the realities on the ground and to medical
advances. In 2024, ALIMA reached 5.9 million beneficiaries. We work in partnership, particularly with
local NGOs, wherever possible, to ensure that our patients benefit from expertise wherever it is available, whether within their own country or elsewhere in the world. Furthermore, to improve the
humanitarian response, we carry out operational and clinical research projects, particularly in the field
of combating malnutrition and viral haemorrhagic fevers.
ALIMA’S TEAM: More than 2000 people are currently working for ALIMA. The field teams, closest to the
patients, receive their support from coordination teams generally based in the countries’ capitals. These
receive support from the 4 desk teams and the emergency and opening team based at the operational
headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. The Paris and New York teams are actively working to raise funds and
represent ALIMA. The rest of the ALIMA Galaxy includes individuals and partner teams working on
behalf of other organizations such as medical NGOs BEFEN, ALERT Health, SOS Doctors / KEOOGO,
AMCP, research organizations PACCI, and INSERM, Bordeaux or Copenhagen Universities, the INGO
Solidarités International, and many others.

Alima in Sudan
ALIMA registered in Sudan in April 2021 and began operations in August 2021 supporting severe COVID-19 case management at Omdurman Teaching Hospital. In 2022, activities expanded to Al Shaab Hospital in Khartoum with the installation of an oxygen plant, and to South Kordofan with emergency obstetric and newborn care and primary healthcare services funded by ELMA and CDCS. In 2023, ALIMA
responded to displacement in West Kordofan through mobile clinics and strengthened services in
Kadugli, funded by the Sudan Humanitarian Fund. After the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, ALIMA
launched a two-year health and nutrition program in South Kordofan and North Darfur with GOAL and
ECHO, maintaining operations through national staff and remote coordination despite the closure of its
Khartoum office. Activities in North Darfur began in 2024, including nutrition support and mobile clinics
for displaced populations. Coordination later moved to N’Djamena, Chad, while a coordination office
was briefly established in Port Sudan (Nov 2024–June 2025). Due to escalating insecurity, the El Fasher
project closed in July 2025 and activities were refocused in Tawila, including response to a cholera
outbreak. ALIMA continues to support vulnerable and displaced populations through health and
nutrition interventions while strengthening regional coordination, including a platform established in
Nairobi in September 2024.
In Sudan, ALIMA aims to reduce mortality and morbidity among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and
host communities in conflict-affected areas of North Darfur and, hopefully, soon in West Darfur States.
Specifically, the objective is to provide life-saving medical, nutritional, and emergency assistance to
vulnerable populations in areas with high health and nutrition needs.
The intervention focuses on 3 key sectors: health, nutrition, and emergency response.
1- Access to quality primary and secondary healthcare, including WASH, sexual and reproductive health,
and GBV services, is improved for displaced and host communities;
2- Prevention and treatment of malnutrition for children under five is strengthened in hotspots.
3- Support for local emergency response systems ensures readiness for crises such as outbreaks and
new displacements.
ALIMA currently provides essential health services in North and West Darfur State, which is severely
impacted by conflict and displacement.
