GENDER PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW Sudan Country Office GENDER PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW Sudan Country Office This independent Gender Review of the Country Programme of Cooperation Sudan-UNICEF 2013- 2017 is completed by the International Consultant: Mr Nagui Demian based in Canada matic Review UNICEF Sudan: Gender Programmatic Review Khartoum 7 July, 2017 FOREWORD The UNICEF Representative in Sudan, is pleased to present and communi- cate the final and comprehensive report of an independent gender pro- grammatic review for the country programme cycle 2013 – 2017. This review provides sounds evidence towards the progress made in Sudan in mainstreaming Gender-Based Programming and Accountability and measures the progress achieved in addressing gender inequalities. This ana- lytical report will serve as beneficial baseline for the Government, UNICEF and partners, among other stakeholders, to shape better design and priori- tisation of gender-sensitive strategies and approaches of the new country programme of cooperation 2018-2021 that will accelerate contributions to positive changes towards Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on gender equality in Sudan. The objective of the gender review was to assess the extent to which UNICEF and partners have focused on gender-sensitive programming in terms of the priorities of the Sudan’s Country Programme, financial invest- ments, key results, lessons learnt and challenges vis-à-vis the four global priorities of UNICEF’s Gender Action Plan 2014-2017. We thank all sector line ministries at federal and state levels, UN agencies, local authorities, communities and our wide range of partners for their roles during the implementation of this review. In light of the above, we encourage all policy makers, UN agencies and de- velopment partners to join efforts to ensure better design and prioritisation of gender-sensitive strategies and approaches that will accelerate the posi- tive changes towards the Goal 5 of the SDGs and national priorities related to gender equality in Sudan. Putting girls in the centre of the national devel- opment agenda is important for the future of Sudan.

    Chairperson, Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights UNOG-OHCHR CH 1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland 1 October 2014 Dear Mr. Kedzia, 56th Session of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights – Pre-Sessional Working Group on Sudan We are writing with a view to the pre-sessional meeting of the working group on Sudan during the 54th Session from 1-5 December 2014. Please find below a brief update of developments pertaining to the main concerns of REDRESS and the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) in relation to the state party’s implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). 1 I. Renewed conflict, ongoing human rights violations and impunity The situation in Sudan since 2000, when the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights last considered a report by the State party,1 has been marked by considerable developments and changes, including the adoption of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005, the Interim National Constitution in 2005 and the independence of South Sudan in 2011. Nonetheless, most of the concerns identified in the Committee’s concluding observations of 2000 have not been adequately addressed, and several new issues of concern have arisen since. The situation in Sudan continues to be characterised by ongoing human rights violations, armed conflict, impunity and a weak rule of law. Lack of democracy, marginalisation (of the periphery and of groups within Sudan, particularly women) and weak governance are among the key factors that have contributed to this systemic crisis.

  • Socio-Demographic Factors Affecting Child Marriage in Sudan

Their mean (SD) age, age at marriage and husband age was 26.8 (1.1), 19.7 (5.3) and 38.1 (12.7) respectively. More than 1 in 5 (45.9%, 781/1700) of the interviewed women reported being married prior to age 18 year. Among the total respondents child marriage was reported in 12.9% (220/1700), 15.1% (257/1700) and 17.9% (304/1700) in Eastern, Northern and Western Sudan respectively. The highest prevalence of child marriage (marriage prior to 18 years) was reported among those of rural residence, having less than secondary education and their families having >5 members of daughters and sons. Child marriage was also more common among women whose parents and husbands have less than secondary education. The result of this study demonstrated that 45.9% of the women in Sudan continuing to be married before 18 years old thus there is critical need for health education, increased family planning use and federal effort to reduce the child marriage with special focus on the rural and less educated communities.

  • Dams, Islamist Modernity and Nationalist Politics in Sudan
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 9 | Issue 2 Mohamud, M. and Verhoeven, H. 2016. Re-engineering the state, awakening the nation: Dams, islamist modernity and nationalist politics in Sudan. Water Alternatives 9(2): 182-202 Re-Engineering the State, Awakening the Nation: Dams, Islamist Modernity and Nationalist Politics in Sudan Maimuna Mohamud Heritage Institute for Policy Studies, Mogadishu, Somalia; [email protected] Harry Verhoeven School of Foreign Service in Qatar, Georgetown University; [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article investigates how and why dam building has fulfilled a crucial role in hegemonic projects of elite consolidation and nation-building. By drawing on the case of Sudan’s Dam Programme and the associated propaganda the Khartoum government has produced, we show how the dams have not just served to materially restructure the Sudanese political economy but have also been essential in the attempted rekindling of the identity of both the regime and the country. Massive investment in hydro-infrastructure dovetailed with the political rebalancing of an authoritarian system in crisis, turning dam-builders into nation-builders: the message of the dams as midwife to a pious, prosperous and revitalised Sudan allowed it to reconcile the nationalism of its military and security wing with the enduring ambitions for transformation of its Islamist base. Dam building in Sudan, as elsewhere, has thus meant a physical redrawing of the landscape and intensified rent creation and seeking but also embodies a high modernist narrative that matches the interests and worldviews of very different constituencies. This, we argue, helps explain its salience in earlier periods of state-building and nation-building, as well as contemporarily.

  • Manāsīr Petra Weschenfelder
    135 A Collective Gender Perception? Female Perspectives towards Resettlement in the Dar al- Manāsīr Petra Weschenfelder 1. Introduction The Merowe Dam has now drowned most of the villages in the Fourth Cataract area. Many members of the Manāsīr, one of the eth- nic groups who lived along the shores of the River Nile in the Fourth Cataract, now live in the resettlement schemes al-Mukābrāb or al- Fidda, or are trying to re-arrange their lives along the new shore- line created by the Merowe dam.1 As had been intensively studied, the environmental setting, specifically the scarcity of farming land in the cataract area, had greatly influenced the lifestyles of the Manāsīr people:2 the need for wage work abroad to compensate for this scarcity was a major issue that, even though it influenced the lives of men and women in equal terms, was largely studied from the male perspective. Such perspectives either investigated differ- ent job opportunities in various countries and the means of Manāsīr men to return to their homeland in later life, or the limited possibil- ity of cash crop cultivation, mainly organized by the men. Manāsīr women often remained in the Dar al-Manāsīr, contributing to the family income as well as raising their children according to Manāsīr customs. However, the contributions of women to the lifestyle of the Manāsīr remained largely neglected in these studies.
