Electoral Violence Prevention Workshop in Khartoum, January 2009
Preventing Electoral Violence in Sudan

Sudan's elections, currently planned for April 2010, are an important milestone of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed between the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and the Southern People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in 2005. The Institute's Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention and Education and Training Center-International have partnered to conduct workshops throughout Sudan in preparation for the elections. The workshops include civic education and democracy components, conflict resolution skills training, and case studies and simulations.
