Description:
This report proposes a growth strategy
for Sudan that reduces its dependence on oil, while building
an economic foundation for a diversified, inclusive and
sustainable growth path. Specifically, Sudan's near
term strategy should focus on: a) developing and maintaining
the necessary enabling environment for growth, specifically
macroeconomic stability and effective fiscal management
(chapter one); b) implementing policies aimed at improving
the investment climate and broadening private sector- led
growth (chapters two and five); c) increasing returns to the
agriculture sector as the highest potential engine of growth
and poverty reduction over the medium-term (chapter four);
d) developing a comprehensive reconstruction plan for the
South (chapter six); and e) complementing technocratic
reforms with good governance.
