The Sudan Catholic Bishops' Conference (SCBC) exists of all the archbishops and bishops of South Sudan and Sudan.

The first meeting of the Ordinaries of Sudan held in Khartoum in late 1929, during the visit of the Apostolic Delegate for East Africa, based in Mombasa, Kenya, Arthur Hinsley. In the fifties were held periodic meetings of the Ordinaries of Sudan, until in December 1974 was established the local hierarchy and the Sudan was born Episcopal Conference, who in 1976 became known as the Sudan Catholic Bishops' Conference (SCBC). Its headquarters is in Khartoum. The statutes were approved by the Holy See in 1989. The SCBC is a member of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) and Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM).
