The Sudan Strategy Support Program (Sudan SSP) focuses on crucial research areas, including agricultural transformation, markets and trade, livelihoods and nutrition, resilience and developmental strategies, climate change, and the governance and political economy of food systems. The Sudan SSP crafts research-driven policy solutions, fosters policy change coalitions, and collaborates on the creation of innovative analytical tools with a broad network of local, regional, and international partners.
In the wake of violent conflict that emerged in Sudan in April 2023, the Sudan SSP has taken a leading role in mobilizing local and international efforts to provide concrete empirical evidence and thorough analyses concerning agricultural and food systems during periods of conflict. Integrating conflict analysis into its core themes, the program innovates and adapts analytical tools to be responsive and timely, offering critical insights into the impacts of such shocks on agricultural systems, food security, poverty, and social protection mechanisms.
The IFPRI-Sudan team is made up of globally recognized experts with extensive technical expertise in agriculture, food security, poverty, social protection, and gender. The team draws on a unique set of skills, with demonstrated analytical, technical, and interpersonal skills, and have decades of collective experience in conducting research and building capacity in Sudan and beyond.
