Background
HUDO was established and confined to South Kordufan (SK) state in Sudan, registered under the State Humanitarian Aid Commission / Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission joint office for Nuba Region (HAC /SRRC). On 25th Oct 2009 HUDO was officially recognized as a non-governmental organization NGO. In June 2011 when South Kordufan conflict started, HUDO’s certificate was revoked by the Sudanese Government. However, HUDO continued to work under very tight and threatening conditions. In order to fulfill its mission, HUDO office was moved and officially registered in Uganda on 13th March 2013 as non-profit company registered by guarantee and in South Sudan on 3rd April 2014 as NGO under the same name of HUDO centre. Later on 4th May 2017, HUDO Centre has been registered in Uganda NGO Board as a foreign NGO. Nevertheless, the mandate has been extended to cover the entire Sudan and Sudanese refugees in Uganda, South Sudan and special program for other refugees. HUDO Centre is highly committed to achieving sustainable development, promoting human welfare without racial, religious, gender discrimination or political affiliation.
