• The African Development Bank approved a grant for the Republic of Sudan to implement the Building Capacity for Inclusive Service Delivery Project (BCISD). The project aims at building governance, institutional and human resources capacities of the Ministries of Labor and Social Development (MLSS) and Health (MoH) at federal, state and locality levels and developing human capital at the community level to improve employability, create jobs and expand access to and coverage of tailored safety nets and health services for the poor, especially women and youth. The project particularly targets the North Kordofan and White Nile states and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) within the MoWSS. At the community level, the project will initiate and support skill development and entrepreneurship initiatives to gradually empower the poor and vulnerable for gainful employment and poverty reduction.

• The project will promote an inter-sectoral and integrated approach to skill development, social protection and health by simultaneously building capacities of target institutions and people. The project will groom leaders at federal, state and district levels to effectively plan, design, and manage essential social protection services. Also, the project will train technical staff and devise a staff retention strategy to deliver basic services in marginalised rural and remote areas. The project will also prepare rural communities to be gainfully employed and withstand financial shocks. About 64% of the population in Sudan are uninsured and therefore often face financial shocks. These activities will contribute to poverty reduction, economic and social progression, and reduced dependency for fulfilling social protection needs. Furthermore, policies, strategies and frameworks relating to the target institutions’ core functions and human resources capacity will be developed and institutionalized.
