After three decades of authoritarian regime, on the basis of the Constitutional Agreement reached in Khartoum on 17 August 2019, Sudan was until October 2020 led by a civilian-led Government. The transition represented a critical opportunity to meet the legitimate aspirations of the Sudanese population for a more peaceful, prosperous and inclusive country.
Being firmly committed to the political and economic transition, the EU had sought to provide support that would contribute to the stabilisation of the country and its inclusive development. Following a request from the Prime Minister and scoping missions led by other donors, a need for human capacity reinforcement, as well as equipment to the Prime Minister Executive Office (PMEO) and line ministries, was established. This process identified five clusters where support was needed:
The intervention logic of the project was that by immediately supporting the core of the Government, the project would help to facilitate the transition towards democracy. It would achieve this by ensuring the promotion of better governance as well the adoption of policies that support the aims of the revolution, namely that of freedom, peace and justice.
Through this action – as implemented by Landell Mills, the EU Delegation supported the Prime Minister's Executive Office and other core government structures with crucial resources in terms of policy advice, capacity building and equipment.
The overall objective of the project, of which the Landell Mills contract is a part, has been to contribute to the democratic transition in Sudan. The purpose of the contract has been to reinforce the Prime Minister's Executive Office and relevant line ministries to achieve the top priorities of peace, economic recovery, transition to civilian democracy and inclusive, accountable and responsive governance systems set by the government. The beneficiaries have been staff of Prime Ministers Executive Office, staff of line ministries, non-state actors and others.
