FACILITATING THE PREPARATORY PROCESS FOR THE EARTH SUMMIT IN SUDAN
A committee comprising of representatives from the government, national/international
NGOs, research institutions, women and youth groups, and civil society
has been established. The committee is reviewing progress since Rio on
the Environment and related issues such as Urban decay, private sector,
governance, poverty, civil strife and the position of Sudanese women before
and after Rio.
In October 2001, the national Sudanese Civil Society Preparatory Conference
was held in Khartoum, Sudan (with support from the Heinrich Boell Foundation),
in order to review the implementation of Agenda 21 in Sudan. The papers
being presented at this conference are for download here.
