What we do

SUDIA works closely with a wide base of institutions from civil society, the private sector as well as with government developing programs and projects that sustain and reinforce peace and development and support the country and the Sudanese people achieve their part of the Millennium Development Goals. Our current Sudan program is focused along three areas, these are - 



Advancing Democracy

This programme aims to work with and strengthen civil society and ensure its effective role in key and fundamental areas that will contribute towards greater democracy within the current context of Sudan. These include – Media and Access to Information, Human Rights; Gender; and Civil Society

The programme facilitates the provision of technical assistance and services to a range of national and international partners. On a macro level, the programme works with the private sector, media and government to create an enabling environment which is supportive of broader civil society activity. On a micro level, the CSP contributes to building the capacity of individual Sudanese CSOs and ensuring that they are active, diverse, significant, and well distributed geographically throughout the country.

Economic Development

The programme aims to provide real and significant opportunities for economic growth and revitalisation, by developing and strengthening local community approaches/structures which serve disadvantaged and vulnerable populations across the country.

The framework of the program is embodied in two key principles – Economic Opportunity & Sustainable Community Development. The first priority in revitalising distressed communities is to create economic opportunities in the form of jobs and self-employment possibilities. The programme provides opportunities for entrepreneurial initiatives, small business expansion, and training. We partner with government and the private sector in order to provide services that deliver improved social mobility and economic expansion.

Building Peace

The programme rests on the premise that sustainable peace is delivered through a well-researched and locally-grounded understanding of the relevant issues. SUDIA interventions are guided by context-specific knowledge and a thorough understanding of all the factors which pose a challenge to conflict transformation and peace building.

The programme develops local and national capacity in peace building and conflict transformation, facilitates dialogue and reconciliation and promotes recovery activities. It does this through a range of innovative and well-researched methods which aim to integrate international best-practice with local traditions and customs. Through the programme, SUDIA continues to establish relationships with national and international partners in an effort to transform the lives of war-affected communities across Sudan.
