SSA Context in Sudan: Constraints of SSA in Sudan


1. Land ownership• Fragmented farm holdings;

• Ownership by local customary laws and norms, rather than legally recognized;

2. Access to technology• Use of simple manual tools and family labor in farm practices;

• Scarcity of modern agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and improved seeds

3. Access to services• Weak institutional agricultural services including research, extension, pest and disease control;

• Weak organizational structures dealing with traditional agricultural production;

4. Funding sources• Dependence on traditional sources of finance such as relatives and village merchant (k) low

productivity and (l) weak marketing services.

5

SSA Context in Sudan: National Priorities for SSA Sustainable Development

1. Institutional, policy planning and legal framework capacity

strengthened

• Functional capacity for agriculture, food security and natural resource management (NRM)

policy and planning;

• Legal reform;

• Improvement of valid and reliable sector co-ordination;

• Enhanced and sustained information management systems at federal, state, locality and

community levels.2. Agricultural research and technology transfer institutions

• Provide support services to farmers, pastoralists, fisher folk and tree-dependent people

according to international best practice

3. Productivity and production of cropping, livestock, fisheries and

forestry systems significantly increased

• Cost of production reduced and competitiveness of products improved;• Effects of climate change and variability and associated extreme weather events

on smallholder producers negated; • Livelihoods of smallholder growers, pastoralists, fisher folk and tree-dependent

people enhanced.
