Enhance Sudan’s human and institutional capacities in the area of transparency, according to the decisions of Paris Agreement on Climate Change

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.

This project contributes to Sudan’s commitments under the UNFCCC to enable the country to address climate change considerations (mitigation of GHG emissions, assessment of vulnerability of key sectors to climate change, formulation of climate-resilience strategies). Several elements of the project promote good governance benefits to the country. First, the project will promote institutional coordination efficiency by building on work that has already been done to establish a legislative and regulatory framework for transparency. Second, the project will reduce the cost of key analytical work over time by increasing the capacity of experts in Sudan to conduct key analyses (e.g. damage and loss estimates and cost-benefit analysis for greenhouse gas mitigation policies and measures) rather than relying on international experts. Third, the project will reduce costs and increase efficiency over the long term by generating data and knowledge that can be used to inform climate change policy-making. More robust projections and economic analyses will provide policy-makers in Sudan with the information necessary to optimize mitigation and adaptation policies supported by empirical data. Taken together, these elements will yield global environmental benefits through promoting transformational change by integrating transparency objectives in national reporting; introduction of methods and tools in support of the delivery of global benefits; and improved mechanism for managing information and knowledge.The following table illustrates the estimated number of stakeholders from different institutions participating in the project. The number of beneficiaries was determined by a 2-step process. First, the role of each stakeholder institution was evaluated relative to the intersection of CBIT project scope and stakeholder interests. Second, stakeholder institutions were consulted regarding the number of proposed participants in the project. # Stakeholder Expected number of participants Women involvement TWGs Training & workshops Awareness sessions 1 Ministry of Foreign Affairs 0 2 10 6 2 Ministry of Interior 2 2 10 7 3 Ministry of Justice 0 2 10 6 4 Ministry of Communications and Digital Transformation 6 2 10 9 5 Ministry of Cabinet Affairs 0 0 10 5 6 Ministry of Finance and National Economy & Central Bank of Sudan 0 4 10 7 7 Ministry of Energy and Petroleum 2 4 10 8 8 Ministry of Irrigation and Water resources 2 2 10 7 9 Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry 4 4 10 9 10 Ministry of Industry 6 2 10 9 11 Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation 0 0 10 5 12 Ministry of Animal Resources 2 2 10 7 13 Ministry of culture and media 0 2 10 6 14 Ministry of Transport 2 2 10 7 15 Ministry of Health 0 2 10 6 16 Ministry of Labor 0 2 10 6 17 Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research 8 2 10 10 18 Ministry of Youth and Sport 0 0 10 5 19 Ministry of Social Welfare 0 0 10 5 20 Ministry of Mining 4 2 10 8 21 Ministry of Urban Development, Roads and Bridges 6 2 10 9 22 Ministry of Federal Government 0 2 10 6 23 Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments 0 0 10 5 24 Ministry of Trade and Supply 4 0 10 7 25 Ministry of Defense 2 2 10 7 B Other institutions 1 HCENR 8 4 10 11 2 Central Bureau of Statistics 6 2 10 10 3 Sudanese Standards & Metrology Organization (SSMO) 6 2 10 10 4 National Research Centre 2 2 10 7 5 Energy Research Centre 8 2 10 10 6 Academic Institutions and Universities 8 50 200 129 7 Civil Society Organizations (CSO) 6 2 50 30 8 Unions, champers and other private sector associations 8 36 108 76 9 State Governments 0 18 180 99 10 State level institutions 8 10 30 15 11 Private sector and industrial facilities (Food Industry, Cement factories, Sugar companies, Energy, Oil & Gas industry) 8 10 20 15 12 Unions, chambers of commerce and other associations 8 4 10 11 118 182 888 584 Direct beneficiaries 300 Other beneficiaries 888
