Sudan’s medium-term national development
policy framework is embodied in the Interim Poverty
Reduction Strategy Paper (IPRSP). The paper was formulated
in 2012 in the context of immense political upheaval due to
the separation of the North (now Sudan) and South Sudan in
2011, which resulted in substantial loss (about 75 percent)
in oil revenue and Sudan’s total revenue. To this end, Sudan
launched a Five-Year Development Plan (2012-2016) to serve
as a growth-oriented strategy with a primary focus on
sustainable development and poverty reduction in the medium
term. The IPRSP aims to reduce poverty through rapid,
sustainable, and shared economic growth. Developing human
resources is one of the four broad pillars of the IPRSP,
which recognizes the role of investment in human development
to build and enhance the population capabilities through
education and better health. The Government of Sudan is now
preparing the full PRSP that outlines a medium- to long-term
plan for poverty reduction. This aligns with the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Bank Group’s twin
goals to eliminate extreme poverty (with US1.90 dollars per
day as the poverty line) and boost shared prosperity by
2030. The paper proceeds as follows. Section two presents
the results of selected education outcomes, linking them
with poverty. Section three focuses on the link between
health outcomes and poverty in Sudan. Section four provides
a summary of the main findings and policy options. |
