Prosper Global is a humanitarian organization working alongside communities facing conflict, climate change, and economic hardship to meet urgent needs and create the conditions for lasting progress. Today's challenges demand new solutions, so we pair local knowledge with global resources to help communities build what's needed, test what's possible, and scale what's proven so that people everywhere can pursue a full life on their own terms. In 2026, we changed our name from Mercy Corps to Prosper Global, to reflect our belief that when every community can prosper, all of humanity moves forward. The Program / Department / Team Prosper Global Sudan crisis response seeks to meet the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Sudanese and other conflict-affected people across the country. Collective Sudan (formerly the Cash Consortium of Sudan) is an innovative nexus partnership platform, administratively, it is hosted by Prosper Global however it brings together 19 national and international organizations committed to delivering more effective humanitarian assistance and recovery support through a harmonized cash-plus approach across Sudan.Guided by local knowledge, global best practice, and evidence-based adaptation, Collective Sudan works across all regions of Sudan, including hard-to-reach and conflict-affected areas, to deliver inclusive, scalable, and integrated interventions that meet urgent needs while laying foundations for recovery and resilience. Collective Sudan's vision is an inclusive, locally led, and resilient Sudan where all essential needs are met with dignity, flexibility, and efficiency. Its mission is to collectively deliver safe, inclusive, and effective cash and markets programming to crisis-affected people across Sudan while reinforcing the local actors and systems needed to drive long-term resilience. The platform's response is anchored in large-scale multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), group cash transfers (GCTs) for community responders, emergency business grants (EBGs) for markets, and a growing portfolio of recovery and resilience programming. Beyond direct implementation, Collective Sudan strengthens the humanitarian system through investments in local response capacity, evidence generation, shared systems, coordination mechanisms, referral pathways, and innovations. Collective Sudan supports approaches that strengthen coordination, collaboration, information sharing, and collective problem solving across the humanitarian response. Area-Based Coordination (ABC) is one mechanism through which local responders, national and international NGOs, UN agencies, community actors, and other stakeholders can come together to improve shared analysis, coordination, referral pathways, and response effectiveness at sub-national level. Collective Sudan contributes resources, technical support, learning, and convening functions that help strengthen these locally led coordination efforts while respecting their independence and ownership.

The position also supports stronger linkages between local coordination structures and national-level humanitarian discussions, ensuring local perspectives, priorities, and challenges are reflected in broader response planning and decision-making.
