Sudan

In 2003, with support from CIDA, a joint University of Saint Paul and CICR mission was sent to Sudan to introduce conflict resolution skills to key sectors of the country. In Khartoum, some 38 senior people from government, industry, NGOs and local Institutions were trained, including the Ministries of Justice, Foreign Affairs, and Interior, the Institute for National Security, the Universities of Gezira, National Ribat, and Juba and Sudanese Mothers for Peace & Development.  Since that mission, CICR has had a standing request for conflict resolution capacity development from the Police Academy, the Ministry of the Interior, the Education Ministry, women’s organizations and journalists.  Funding to provide this needed program is still outstanding.
