Africa Program

Sudan
The Africa Program has an ongoing interest in the developments in Sudan. The following are several of our past projects that have addressed the various, complex issues facing the country.
 
In July 2000, The CSIS Task Force on U.S.-Sudan Policy was launched, funded through a grant from the U.S. Institute of Peace, with the aim of revitalizing debate on Sudan and generating pragmatic recommendations for the new administration. Cochaired by Francis M. Deng, then senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, now distinguished professor at the City University of New York Graduate Center, and J. Stephen Morrison, director of the CSIS Africa Program, the task force at all points operated on a nonpartisan, inclusionary basis.

On October 1 and 2, 2003, the Africa program hosted a two-day conference on Health in Post-Conflict Sudan: Building Capacity to Fight Infectious Disease in Washington, DC. Undertaken with the support of the U.S. Department of State, the conference promoted cooperation between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) by identifying measures that both strengthen the capacity in the healthcare sector and strengthen the eventual peace.
