As a consequence, Sudan is struggling to meet its MDGs. Since the secession of South Sudan, Sudan has lost a considerable part of its oil production and fiscal revenues. At the same time, the Government recognizes social safety nets as important instruments for reducing poverty. This report provides an analysis of the state of social safety nets in Sudan which shows that Sudan s existing safety net programs are limited in coverage, lack coordination, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The report suggests (i) reallocation of savings from the fuel subsidy reform to targeted pro-poor safety net programs; (ii) strengthening of the existing safety net through monitoring the outcomes, strong controls and social accountability, and a culture of evaluation, and (iii) development of a coherent National Social Protection Policy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGRICULTURAL SECTORANTI-POVERTYARMED CONFLICTATTENDANCE RATESBASIC HUMAN RIGHTBASIC NEEDSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBENEFIT LEVELBENEFIT LEVELSCASH PAYMENTSCASH SUPPORTCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFERSCHILD MORTALITYCHILD WELFARECHRONICALLY POORCITIZENSCIVIL CONFLICTCIVIL WARCOMMUNITY COMMITTEESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONSCONCENTRATIONS OF POVERTYCONFLICTCOST-EFFECTIVENESSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISABILITYDONOR FUNDINGDRINKING WATERDROUGHTEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC CRISESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTUREECONOMIC PROSPERITYECONOMIC RESOURCESEMERGENCIESEXTREMELY POOR HOUSEHOLDSFEE WAIVERSFEMALE GENITAL MUTILATIONFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOOD ASSISTANCEFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUBSIDIESFORMAL EDUCATIONFREE HEALTHGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH CENTERHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SYSTEMSHEIGHT FOR AGEHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN LIFEHUMANITARIAN AFFAIRSHUMANITARIAN AIDILLNESSIMMUNIZATIONIMPACT ON POVERTYINCENTIVE PAYMENTSINCOMEINCOME TRANSFERSINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINEQUALITYINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONINTERNATIONAL AIDINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLIMITED CAPACITYLIVING CONDITIONSLOW- INCOME COUNTRIESLOW-INCOME COUNTRYMALNUTRITIONMARRIED MENMICRO FINANCEMICRO-CREDITMICRO-FINANCEMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINIMUM INCOMEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHNATIONAL AIDSNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCENATIONAL PENSIONNATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONAL POPULATION COUNCILNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINENATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF BIRTHSNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNUTRITION PROGRAMNUTRITION PROGRAMSOLD AGEORPHANSPEACEPENSIONSPERSONS WITH DISABILITIESPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPOLICY GUIDANCEPOLICY RESPONSEPOORPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INDIVIDUALSPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION CENSUSPOPULATION SIZEPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPRICE SUBSIDIESPROGRESSPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPROTECTION SYSTEMPROTECTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC WORKSPURCHASING POWERREFORM PROGRAMREMOTE LOCATIONSREMOTE RURAL AREASRIGHTS OF PERSONSRIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIESRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL DWELLERSRURAL FAMILIESRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL WOMENSAFE WATERSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEEDINGSHOCKSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL COMMISSIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL FUNDSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROGRAMSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL SPENDINGSOCIAL WORKERSSSNSTREET CHILDRENSUBSIDIZINGSUPPLEMENTARY FEEDINGSUPPLEMENTARY FEEDING PROGRAMSUPPORT PROGRAMTARGETED SOCIAL SAFETY NETSTARGETED TRANSFERSTARGETINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSFER PAYMENTSTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSUNEMPLOYMENTUNFPAUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDUNIVERSAL SUBSIDIESURBAN AREASURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYURBANIZATIONUSE OF RESOURCESVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWARWELFARE POLICYYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG WOMENZAKAT10.1596/20054
