Youth Democratic Education in Sudan

The overall objective of the EU-funded project “Strengthening Young Citizens in Sudan through Democratic Education” is to increase youth participation in the democratic process and to contribute to the establishment of a credible and legitimate democracy in Sudan. It aims to help students understand democratic processes and the importance of their participation in the elections currently planned for 2023. The project will prepare young first time voters to participate in the planned elections in a well informed and critical manner. It will also enhance Sudanese young people's capacity to formulate and voice their demands clearly in front of parties and governmental institutions, challenging the latter to actively take into account what future generations want and need from them. The overarching idea is to strengthen the principle of democratic competition ahead of the elections.
