MICROFINANCE
CONSULTANCY TO EASTERN SUDAN |

|
In 2006, the Eastern Sudan Peace
Agreement was signed, ending twelve
years of devastating conflict. Kassala
and to a lesser extent Gedaref states
were left with very limited capacity,
declining institutions, inadequate
and decaying physical infrastructure,
eroded human capital and shattered
social structures. The influx of
refugees to Eastern Sudan put additional
stress on the already scarce natural
resources, and the conflict coincided
with a severe cycle of droughts,
causing additional environmental
degradation and depletion.
Expectations among the peoples of
the East to see their historical
marginalisation reverse through
tangible peace dividend were high
following the peace agreement, but
implementation has been slow. Poverty
in the Eastern states is widespread,
economic inequality is significant,
and human development indicators
are among the lowest in the country.

MICROFINANCE
ASSESSMENT CONSULTANCY TO DARFUR,
SUDAN |

|
The trading networks and entrepreneurship
of Darfuri traders are legendary
and Darfur has long been the source
of Sudan’s most important
exports of agricultural produce,
including groundnuts, gum arabic
and livestock. Its modern economy
remains based on agriculture and
trade, but chronic under-investment,
marginalization and isolation from
the rest of the Sudanese economy
has disabled the region from reaching
its full production and trading
potential.
To a large extent, the conflict
that escalated in Darfur in 2003
represents a modern flare-up of
grievances caused by natural, political,
national and local processes that
started deep in history and have
continued during colonial times
as well as under the regimes that
have ruled Sudan since Independence.
The key economic impacts observable
today are a combination of the acute
effects of the latest conflict and
the gradual impact of increased
competition for scarce political,
economic and natural resources.
Whether gradual or acute, the loss
of rural livelihoods has had a direct
impact on the rate of urbanisation,
and the natural resources in the
fragile climatic region have been
seriously compromised by the increase
and urban concentration of people.

Land
Issues and Peace in Sudan |
 |
The endorsement of Naivasha Agreement,
the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
(CPA) and the Interim Period Constitution
have created a new reality, and
opened up wide opportunities to
reform the various land-related
legislations, policies, structures
and institutions. The genuine implementation
of these documents and the concomitant
land related reforms can be conductive
to the elimination, or at least
serious amelioration, of poverty,
grievances, marginalization and
resource-based conflicts.

Nomads’
Settlement in Sudan: Experiences,
Lessons and Future Action |
 |
Pastoralism in Sudan is a traditional
way of life. It is a product of
climatic and environmental factors
that has become a form of natural
resource use and management.Pastoralism
comprises a variety of movements
ranging from pure nomadism characterized
by year-around camel breeding and
long-distance migration, to seasonal
movements over shorter distances
in combination with some form of
agricultural activities.Historically,
there has long been tension along
pastoral corridors over land and
grazing rights between nomads and
farmers. But recently, some parts
of the country have been caught
in a complex tangle of severe droughts
and dwindling resources.

Pastoral
Production Systems in South Kordofan |
 |
This report describes the results
of a rapid field assessment of the
pastoral environment of South Kordofan,
Sudan. The purpose of the assessment
is to enable the UNDP Reduction
of Resource-Based Conflict Project
to formulate programming initiatives
in the area. Since January 2002,
interest in South Kordofan has risen
with the Ceasefire Agreement in
the Nuba Mountains and the end of
conflict. South Kordofan is significant
for Sudan’s overall wealth
as it has about one-third of the
country’s livestock population.
The area also assumes importance
because nomadic pastoralists trek
long distances across the territory,
crossing state boundaries and encountering
other tribal groups.

Sharing and Intergovernmental Transfers
in Sudan |

After the adoption of the Federal
System of Government in Sudan-based
as it is on public participation
and motivation-the system of allocation
of financial resources has gained
special significance. In order to
ensure an effective federal system

government to satisfactorily perform
the duties and responsibilities
entrusted to it.
