After more than two decades of war, Sudan's infrastructure needs major rehabilitation and development, agricultural reforms need to be pursued, improved social services are a high priority, and war-affected areas face special difficulties like food insecurity. To start the process for setting priorities and coordinating activities, The World Bank hosted a meeting of the The Government of Sudan (GoS) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) to discuss the Joint Planning Mechanism (JPM).  The JPM will assist both parties in assessing needs, developing priorities, and drawing up action plans for implementation during the pre-interim period. 

The lending program in Sudan is inactive at this time.  For information about the World Bank's position on Sudan, refer to the Country Brief.
