تحليل أسباب الفقر و الاستراتيجية المرحلية لمكافحته في السودان

Abstract EN

The problem of poverty is one of the most important development challenges facing developing countries including Sudan for several decades.

Although many efforts have been made to reduce poverty, however, its rates are increasing, and public policies adopted by the government in this regard remain elusive in achievinging its main objectives or making any significant progress.

The purpose of the present study is to analyse poverty in Sudan by identifying its measurement, causes and the factors that have contributed to the increasing poverty rates over the past two decades.

Also this study aims at investigating the interim poverty reduction strategy in Sudan as well as evaluates that strategy through its main objectives, themes and areas of concern.

This study uses the descriptive analysis method for diagnosing poverty in Sudan based on the latest official statistics, which raises concern about the analysis of key elements of the interim poverty reduction strategy.

The present study concludes with a discussion of the main challenges facing the interim strategy and its weaknesses.

Some useful policy implications can be suggested to improve the strategy for its chances of success.
