The Sudanese Center for Policy Studies (SCPS) is an independent, non-profit research institution and public policy think tank. It was established by a group of political activists who took part in Sudan’s December 2018 Revolution, in response to the significant absence of effective public policies—particularly in areas related to democratic transition and the establishment of a modern, democratic, and developmental state in Sudan.
This program focuses on promoting economic reform in Sudan through improved economic governance, stronger financial transparency, anti-corruption measures, and enhanced oversight of state-owned enterprises, the financial sector, and key extractive industries.
The program seeks to redefine civil–military relations by clarifying the role of the military, taking into account the structure of the armed forces and the presence of parallel forces such as the Rapid Support Forces and armed movements. It explores pathways and best practices toward a unified, national, professional army, while addressing the withdrawal of the military from politics, civilian life, and the economy.
The program addresses the key challenges facing Sudan’s democratic transition by preparing citizens and political and social actors to engage with core transition issues, including democratization, institution-building, freedoms, peace and transitional justice, constitution-making, local governance reforms, women’s and youth political participation, party reform, public sector reform, and elections.
