Sudan

In the Republic of Sudan, governance issues related to the marginalization of many groups from the central concentration of wealth and power in Khartoum remain at the heart of the ongoing conflicts throughout the country, including in Darfur and Southern Kordofan. USIP engages in Sudan on many of these critical issues, with the overarching goal of promoting the resolution of Sudan’s governance and stability issues through a comprehensive approach.
