From evidence to action: identification and strategic application of cholera priority areas for multisectoral interventions (PAMIs) in Sudan (2016–2025)

The study provides strong evidence-based identification of PAMIs in Sudan and supports local, national, regional, and global efforts to control cholera risk. Targeted interventions in these areas are essential to contain outbreaks and build resilient public health systems. The PAMIs identification exercise informed evidence-based prioritization and planning for preventive OCV deployment and catalyzed the establishment of a national committee that developed the updated national cholera plan (2025-2030), reflecting the country's shift toward proactive and sustainable cholera prevention. Sudan's experience demonstrates the feasibility and policy relevance of the PAMIs framework, even in highly fragile humanitarian settings.
