Program Performance Summary FY 2005: Country Setting and Challenges (FY 2005): Following more 

than two decades of North-South conflict, the Government of Sudan (GoS) and the Sudan People’s 

Liberation Movement (SPLM) signed an historic Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nairobi, 

Kenya on January 9, 2005. The war has been the central focus of political and economic life throughout 

Sudan. It has caused the loss of more than two million lives, left more than four million Sudanese 

internally displaced and well over 550,000 refugees living in squalid refugee camps in neighboring 

countries. Social indicators for Southern Sudan are among the worst in the world: life expectancy hovers 

around 43 years of age; infant mortality ranges around 150 per 1,000 live births; and malnutrition 

prevalence rates affect 24 percent of children under five. HIV/AIDS is an emerging threat and a recent 

United Nations (UN) report stated that Sudan has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS infection in Northern 

Africa. Children in Southern Sudan have limited access to basic education and an estimate of nearly 80 

percent of all Southern Sudanese, especially women, are unable to read. 

The long-term impact of the civil war between the North and the South is profound. Adding to the strife 

and uncertainty is the lack of progress in addressing ongoing local conflicts in the western region of 

Darfur and Beja in the East. Regardless of any peace agreement, a wide variety of actors in Sudan have 

vested interests in continued violence. Regional actors, militias, and those having benefited from a war 

economy could act as spoilers to the CPA. Moreover, the exclusion from the peace talks of political forces 

outside the GoS and SPLM means that further reconciliation processes must be undertaken and become 

successful. Inter and intra-ethnic tensions, conflict over natural resources (livestock grazing resources, 

access to water, oil resources, teak and access to food) continue to plague the South. Tensions are likely 

to be exacerbated by the return of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees to areas that have 

yet to develop the infrastructure and services necessary for them to reestablish their lives and livelihoods. 

In addition to political power, resource-based conflicts remain. Thus, the potential exists for significant 

political fragmentation between and within the North and the South. 

Sudan has an extremely high external debt of $25 billion (World Bank). Most communities throughout 

Sudan have suffered from neglect, lack of access to economic opportunities and unbalanced political 

decision making. Destruction from years of fighting and neglect has left basically little to no physical 

infrastructure and institutional capacity in Southern Sudan, as well as poor quality agricultural production 

and inaccessible markets. Natural hazards such as droughts have exacerbated an already dismal 

development record. Statistics indicate a per capita gross national income in Southern Sudan of less than 

$90 per year with close to 90% of the population earning less than a dollar a day. Aside from the 

economic trade sanctions, trade within Sudan remains limited by the lack of infrastructure; lack of 

transparent financial systems for savings, investment, and credit; misplaced policy priorities in GoScontrolled areas; and an overall low level of business skills among entrepreneurs with many highly skilled 

workers having left Sudan years ago. 

The peace agreement calls for a new era in Sudan with greater autonomy granted to the South and to the 

Transition Zone. Large numbers of people, including the Diaspora, are expected to return to their home 

communities. Critical to stabilization within Sudan will be the maintenance of security and the perception 

of viable peace dividends in those communities. Further stressing an already fragile peace is the prospect 

of misdirected funds, particularly the oil revenues, from the wealth sharing arrangements embedded in 

the peace agreement. If bias tilts toward the North within those arrangements, there could easily be a 

return to conflict. The influx of funds could cause economic shocks and overwhelm the existing and 

nascent institutions designed to manage such funds. 

Due to the U.S. Government’s (USG) policies on counterterrorism and regional stability, Sudan is the 

highest USG priority country in Africa. It is within this larger context that USAID is mandated to support 

the implementation of and reduce the threats to the CPA. The United States is presented with an 

exceptional opportunity to work with new government entities to support a reform agenda, which, if 

successful, will advance U.S. foreign policy interests in fostering increased stability not only in Sudan, but 

throughout the Horn of Africa 

Other Donors: Other donors providing humanitarian and development assistance throughout Sudan 

include the European Union, Germany, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Belgium, the 
4

Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland, Japan, the United Nations (UN) agencies and non-governmental 

organizations. Various UN agencies provide core funds in addition to administering other donors’ 

humanitarian efforts. The UN Humanitarian Coordination Unit provides coordination services, and the 

World Food Program and UN International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) administer large programs. Other 

participating UN entities include the World Bank (with its Multi-Donor Trust Fund), the UN Food and 

Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN Development Program (UNDP), Population Fund (UNPF), the Office 

of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the World Health Organization (WHO). 

USAID’s assistance has responded to significant challenges, as well as opportunities, in Sudan given the 

context of the war to peace transition. Despite the security risks and logistical hazards throughout Sudan, 

the Mission achieved strong results. All programs contributed toward more participatory and inclusive 

governance, increased equitable access to quality education, expanded health service delivery, and 

created a foundation for economic recovery. Cross-cutting themes such as gender and HIV/AIDS 

complemented USAID support to Sudan in FY 2005. From working to increase girl’s enrollment numbers 

in the education program to expanding income generating activities to women under the economic growth 

portfolio, USAID has ensured that gender issues are a facet of our programming throughout FY 2005. 

Key Achievements: 

1. Expanded Support to the Sudan Peace Process: The signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement 

by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement and the Government of Sudan in January 2005 brought 

hope to many Southern Sudanese. The successful peace and reconciliation efforts have resulted in 

opportunities to move towards both governance and reconstruction efforts in several areas of Southern 

Sudan and USAID has worked with all relevant parties to make those efforts a reality. Among the “peace 

dividend” activities that have been undertaken in former conflict areas are road rehabilitation, local 

resource management related to water and land-use and technical assistance to support local authorities 

and their town planning efforts. 

2. More Responsive and Participatory Governance: In addition to the signing of the CPA; the Interim 

National Constitution (INC) was ratified, the Government of National Unity (GoNU) was formed and a 

GoSS was put in place. USAID’s programs contributed to this process by assisting the: 1) formation of the 

GoSS; 2) transformation of the SPLM from a rebel movement to a democratic political party; 3) support 

for the constitution drafting process for the Interim Constitution of Southern Sudan; 4) addressing local 

governance in the transition areas; and 5) increasing access to public information. USAID also supported 

GoSS efforts to focus on developing sound financial management systems and formulating sound budget 

practices. 

 

3. Improved Equitable Access to Quality Education: For the past three years, USAID partnered with the 

SPLM leadership to establish a central ministry of education and strengthened the institutions and 

regional structures that are needed to support the education system. The task continues to be daunting. 

USAID’s achievements, however, are now yielding notable results. There are 51,160 learners enrolled in 

USAID supported primary and secondary schools exceeding the target of 44,000. USAID introduced 

several alternatives to formal education that are designed to reach large segments of the south Sudanese 

population. The highlights for FY 2005 include the enrollment of 13,317 learners in all USAID non-formal 

education activities; more than doubling the target of 5,990 and 50% of the enrollees are female. This 

result demonstrates USAID’s expanded emphasis this year on activities focused on providing basic 

education to out-of-school youth and women thus adding to stability in many areas. USAID met or 

exceeded its performance targets for all its established indicators except the number of schools 

constructed or rehabilitated, which continues to challenge USAID and its implementing partners. In 

addition to exceeding performance targets for primary, secondary and non-formal education enrollment, 

the number of trained teachers in the classroom, scholarships to females for teacher training, and the 

number of education officials trained in education management are significantly higher than planned. 

 

USAID made significant progress in supporting the capacity development in the Ministry of Education, 

Science and Technology (MoEST). The MoEST accomplishments in planning and budgeting activities led 

to the first Annual Education Census, which is collecting educational data from all schools in the country 
5

and will be completed in FY 2006. This information will inform the education management information 

systems as well as planning efforts to complement data management for overall public service 

employment. USAID continues to provide vital technical assistance to the nascent government as it lays 

the foundation for an education system that will deliver responsive programs and services throughout the 

South. 

4. Health Transformation: Access to health services is one of the critical basic service areas that are of 

high importance, and a crucial social marker for successful implementation of the CPA. USAID prioritizes 

support to the health sector and is achieving modest levels of success. USAID program results include 

rehabilitation of physical infrastructure at Primary Health Care Centers and Units; hiring and training 

health care workers, with a special focus on hiring women; increasing demand for health and HIV/AIDS 

services; and ensuring that the Centers and Units have access to clean water and sanitation. 

Contributions to national immunization campaigns, for example, are helping USAID meet higher SO level 

targets. USAID has been working to build the capacity in the nascent Secretariat of Health for 

establishing a manageable health system that is responsive to the needs of South Sudanese. 

In addition to a nascent central support structure, access to health data is a major constraint. Planning in 

the current USAID program is based on best estimates from government, UNICEF and WHO sources. 

The Sudan Household and Health Survey, which North and South Sudan will jointly conduct in 2006, 

should provide more robust health data in calendar year 2006. USAID is supporting the south Sudan 

component of the health survey in the form of technical assistance to the South Sudan Center for 

Statistics and Evaluation (SSCSE). The USAID support is provided through the US Census Bureau and 

financial assistance through UNICEF. Since it first started its work in South Sudan in late May 2005, the 

Census Bureau has modeled an effective approach in its partnership with the SSCSE. Together, both 

agencies have achieved significant results: questionnaires are in final form, a sampling strategy has been 

approved, the survey data entry, editing, and tabulation system is finalized, and Center staff have 

received a range of training in preparation for the survey itself. 

5. Foundation Established for Economic Recovery: Economic recovery accelerated, as the CPA spurred 

interest in investment and attracted additional donor assistance and as relative peace stimulated greater 

market activity. USAID food security and disaster relief activities continued to deliver relief to vulnerable 

communities. Economic recovery and increased market activity are clearly evident in visual observation of 

market towns and in anecdotal experience of implementing partners in sourcing local goods and services. 

USAID infrastructure investments provided the most direct contribution to increased economic activity, but 

other activities helped to build confidence in private traders and investors. While data on trade expansion 

is not now available, work is underway on the design of a system for monitoring trade and commercial 

activity in key market towns. 

A grant of $62.2 million to the World Food Program (WFP) jump-started an emergency roads program by 

opening road access to key towns through repairs of selected sections of 1,724 km. of road. Peace 

dividends from this activity are clearly visible and tangible. WFP has reported improvements in road 

access for pedestrians, cyclists and all types of vehicles on the cumulative 820 km. of roads, against a 

target of 1551 km. Daily bus services runs from Kaya to Yei, Mundri and Kotobi, as well as on the NarusKapoeta section. Travel time for people accessing markets and health centers has been cut in half along 

major routes and cost of public transport has been reduced by as much as 50 percent. 

The Sudan Microfinance Institution (SUMI), established in August 2003, is performing above international 

standards and growing. In 2005, SUMI doubled its number of clients and quadrupled its value of loans 

disbursed, while maintaining a low portfolio-at-risk rate. SUMI currently serves 2,595 clients in four 

branches (Yei, Maridi, Yambio and Rumbek) with two loan products (solidarity groups and salary loans). 

The total value of loans disbursed was $1,115,766, above the target of $862,361 set in SUMI's business 

plan. The portfolio-at-risk rate as of September 30 was 4.67 percent, better than the best practices 

standard of 5 percent. The repayment rate of 98.3 percent exceeded the best practices standard of 97 

percent.
