Support to ACI 2: Jobs and skills for youth - Sudan

While pursuing its path toward economic recovery, the Government of Sudan has recognised the importance of enhancing the employment content of its medium-term stabilization packages and long-term development vision. It has therefore committed to the formulation of a National Employment Policy (NEP) with a focus on youth employment. The economic slowdown has impacted the most vulnerable, with young people being disproportionally represented among the vulnerable and informally employed, as well as the working poor. Further support is required to ensure that Sudan’s national development framework prioritizes youth employment (particularly within the new NEP) and that adequate resources are assigned (including at State-level) for the implementation of specific measures.
