Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Programme in Sudan Several environment and energy related programmes have reportedly been implemented with international support in selected demonstration or pilot companies in Sudan. Whilst some cleaner production elements may have been covered, there is no consolidated inventory of CP and related experience and achievements and wider-spread replication and implementation has not yet been achieved. The Ministry of Industry of S udan has requested UNIDO technical assistance to promote and implement Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) methods, practices and technologies.  Preparatory assistance is required to design an effective Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Programme (RECP) to scale-up and mainstream RECP, for which it is imperative to gain insight in the status, achievements and lessons learned from previous and possibly ongoing pilot initiatives. The preparatory assistance serves the dual purpose of ensuring that the proposed UNIDO RECP programme will be solidly grounded on results and experiences of previous and ongoing CP initiatives in Sudan and for formulating a project document for the RECP programme in Sudan with tailor-made results framework and institutional and governance provisions that have been agreed by key public and private sector stakeholders.
