The study’s objecve was to produce a rural poverty analysis and poverty maps for North and Southern Sudan, and based on these findings, recommend agricultural intervenons that can help reduce poverty. These findings provided an input to the IFAD Sudan Country Program 2007–2012, that takes into consideraon the new constuonal changes in Sudan resulng from the peace agreements with South/East/West Sudan and to support peace, security and stability in Sudan. • Poverty assessment in Northern Sudan – Part 1 • Poverty assessment in Southern Sudan – Part 2 • Mapping of agricultural resource potenal of North and Southern Sudan – Part 3. Northern Sudan Assessment: Key findings and recommendaons The results of the Northern Sudan Poverty Assessment show higher rural than urban poverty, in the six regions studied. This rural–urban disparity was mainly due to the rural–urban differences in food composions and food prices. However, in absolute terms the number of rural poor was greater than of urban poor. Higher poverty incidence in rural areas is a due to chronic low producvity and low income in rural areas. A targeng procedure conducive to poverty reducon in the Sudan is proposed in a chart, which suggests priority agricultural intervenons in the 10 states with both highest income poverty and human poverty levels (see the recommendaon at the end of the Northern Sudan report). Overall findings - General state of the economy and agriculture - North and South Sudan’s economic structure has undergone a major shi over the past two decades (DTIS, 2008), the main drivers of this change are the discovery of oil in the early 2000s and the expansion in services dominated by telecommunicaons, transport, and construcon. Agriculture used to be the leading economic sector, forming typically more than 40% of GDP, but has lost much ground with a drop of its GDP share to 33% in 2007. A more dramac trend has been the deterioraon in the contribuon of agriculture to the country’s exports, declining to some 3% in 2007 down from an average of 74% in the 1996–1998 period. Both the relave share and the absolute value of agricultural exports has declined. Data from the Central Bank of Sudan reveals an annual trend value of $71,500. Both income poverty and general human poverty are concerns for North and Southern v Sudan. There is considerable deprivaon in educaon and health, and poor households are parcularly disadvantaged. Yet, despite the current fragile situaon of Sudan’s agriculture, this study found that the countries have enormous potenal to raise crop yields by bridging at least part of its current ‘yield gaps’ – between actual and potenal food producon. These vary from 46% to as high as 56% between on-farm trials and prevailing commercial producvity. Irrigated crops can be improved by margins ranging from about 50% to > 140%. Even higher yield potenal have been idenfied for rainfed crops – where potenal margins ranged from twofold to over fivefold. Prerequisites for achieving these levels of development and macro-economic stability require an ambious development plan that includes: creaon of a sound financial system and an efficient federal system through more decentralizaon, coupled with adequate financial and technical resources and parcipatory mechanisms, and the just income and wealth distribuon. Southern Sudan Assessment – Key findings and recommendaons (Part 2) The survey esmates income poverty incidence at 99.6% in the states of Eastern Equatoria State, 88.6% in the Lakes State, and 54.0% in Central Equatoria State. The situaon was especially serious in Eastern Equatoria and Lakes States. The study also showed acute shoralls of the required caloric intake for about a third of both Eastern Equatoria and Central Equatoria States. Some 60% of the populaon in Lakes State faces a shorall in the required daily caloric food intake. This is an indicaon of deep poverty among a sizeable poron of the populaon. Lakes State had the lowest per capita income from both agricultural and non-agricultural sources. In all states, poverty was lower when expenditure esmates were used than when income esmates were used. This is a common feature in poverty analysis, and it is generally believed that expenditures are more easily recalled than incomes, but the ranking of relave poverty by province did not change. To address this acute situaon a set of 14 recommendaons is proposed. The government will need to implement a long-term poverty reducon strategy that takes a broad perspecve – focusing on strengthening its instuons, developing and implemenng policies and legislaon, invesng in related areas of research and infrastructure to link rural communies to economic centers building capacity, systems, and structures for delivering services in the areas of health, educaon, and clean water. Acons for donors and other partners such as the private sector are also specified. Mapping of agricultural resource potenal of North and Southern Sudan (Part 3) This secon provides detailed maps of different agro-ecological, climac, and soil indices. These have been combined into agricultural resource potenal indices. vi POVERTY ASSESSMENT AND MAPPING IN NORTHERN SUDAN Hamid Faki1, Eltahir Mohamed Nur2, Abdelaziz Abdelfaah1and Aden A Aw-Hassan 1Agricultural Economics and Policy Research Centre (AEPRC), Sudan; and Agricultural Research Corporaon (ARC), Sudan - [email protected] 2Dept. of Economics, University of Khartoum, [email protected] 1. THE SETTING 1.1 Sudan’s administrave and macroeconomic view Sudan, one of the largest countries in Africa, lies roughly within latudes 3–22°N and longitudes 22–38°E. and is neighbor to nine countries around almost all of its borders. While Sudan’s locaon offers a strategic economic posion, it is nevertheless associated with a high influx of refugees across its borders, adding to the poverty situaon that already exists in the country. The lately completed populaon census in the Sudan (2008) puts the country’s populaon at about 39.154 million. No figures are yet available from the census on the growth rates or rural–urban raos, but according to the (World Bank, 2008) the populaon growth rate was 2.5% in 2007, and 40% of the populaon lives in urban areas. Compared with an urban populaon share of 31.9% in 1993, the urban populaon grew at a relavely quick pace over the past 15 years or so. Besides normal populaon growth, this is partly caused by substanal migraon from rural to urban areas, which is in turn partly a result of deteriorang livelihood condions in the former and increasing poverty over me. Administravely, the country is divided into 25 states; 15 in the north

  • Sherkole/Kurmuk, Ethiopia
    Field Dispatch: Refugees from Blue Nile Recount Atrocities, Government’s Targeting of Civilians November 1, 2011 By Amanda Hsiao and Omer Ismail The names of some of the refugees interviewed have been changed to protect their identities. SHERKOLE REFUGEE CAMP, Ethiopia – Sudanese government forces and militias are killing and raping civilians in Blue Nile state, according to refugees who recently fled the fighting. These alarming new details about how the war in Blue Nile is being conducted emerged from an Enough Project trip to the Ethiopian border—where nearly 29,000 Sudanese refugees have sought safety—and underscore the need for further investigation and international access into the area. ------------------------------------------ At 2 p.m. in the Ethiopian border town of Kurmuk the explosion of a bomb rang out as it was dropped from a plane in nearby Sudan. Kurmuk, Ethiopia sits a mere 500 meters across the border from Kurmuk, Sudan—a stronghold for the rebel SPLM-North. Aerial bombardments had been ongoing since the early morning, followed by shellings in the afternoon, according to a group of refugees. The refugees were the latest influx of Blue Nile residents that had crossed the border, some waiting to be transported to one of two refugee camps deeper into Ethiopia. Within the next hour while Enough visited the area, two more bombs exploded. In early September the Sudanese government initiated its third conflict along the South Sudan- Sudan border in the state of Blue Nile. Even more so than in neighboring South Kordofan, few independent observers have been allowed access into the war zone.

  • South Kordofan and Blue Nile the Key to Peace Between the Two Sudans?
    Field Dispatch: South Kordofan and Blue Nile The Key to Peace Between the Two Sudans? Jenn Christian June 2012 The Negotiation Process Two Years On Nearly two years have passed since the governments of Sudan and South Sudan started negotiations on post-secession issues. Today, the two sides remain much as they were in July 2010, when the full negotiation teams first met for an initial exposure session and signed the guiding principles for the process. While no one expected the talks to be easy, the general expectation was that, at the very least, provisional agreements on the major outstanding post-secession issues could be reached before the Southern Sudan referen- dum in January 2011, or, at the latest, by South Sudan’s independence day in July 2011. The parties then could have concluded further modalities elaborating on the provisional agreements in the future and as necessary. Two years on, the stalled negotiation process threatens the peace and stability of the two Sudans and the region at large. Therefore, its successful conclusion should be a priority for the two parties and the greater international community. In retrospect, the fact that the process has dragged on for nearly two years is not surpris- ing, given the manner in which dynamics have unfolded around the negotiation table and events have developed within Sudan and between the two Sudans. In particular, the outbreak of violence in South Kordofan in June 2011, and in Blue Nile in September 2011, has undermined the already tenuous security environment and blocked progress on critical outstanding negotiation issues.

  • SUDAN: Weekly Humanitarian Bulletin
    SUDAN: Weekly Humanitarian Bulletin 30 September – 6 October 2011 Key Points • Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement - North (SPLM-N) continues in Blue Nile State and South Kordofan State, putting civilians at risk and causing further displacement. • Humanitarian access in Blue Nile and South Kordofan states remains limited. Only national NGOs are currently able to operate in Blue Nile State, whilst only national NGOs and international NGOs operating through national staff maintain a presence in South Kordofan. • UNHCR reports that over 27,500 Sudanese refugees from Blue Nile State have now entered Ethiopia, necessitating the opening of a new refugee camp. • The deployment of Ethiopian peacekeepers to Abyei area as part of UNISFA continues. 1. Blue Nile State Ongoing fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement – North (SPLM-N) in the southern parts of Blue Nile state continues to affect civilian populations. Large numbers of displaced persons have reportedly fled from areas surrounding the towns of Bau and Dindiro to Ed Damazine locality in recent days, but due to limited humanitarian access these reports cannot be verified. There have also been reports of an ambush carried out by SPLM-N forces on 8 October on the road between Agadi and But, some 40 km west of Ed Damazine, which resulted in many casualties. Recent needs assessments undertaken by the State Ministry of Health (SMoH) and the Water and Environmental Sanitation Department (WES), indicate that internally displaced persons (IDPs) are located in the towns of Derang in Bau locality and in Dindiro, Kurmuk locality.
