|Context |

|Political / Social / Economic |

|National / Regional / Global |

|The Agenda 2030 offer civil society a new framework to initiate a critical shift away from the current unsustainable development model |

|– obsessed with the market and with economic growth –which has led to growing inequalities, increased the suffering of people and led |

|to the destruction of the environment, including contributing to accelerating climate change. They create an important framework that |

|will help civil society to hold governments and the private sector to account to a greater extent. |

|This could be termed as ‘Sudan SDGs Watch’ to be led and steered by a Gender Task Force(Sudan) |

| |

|Therefore, the project intends to enable the Gender Centre to implement and follow its plan systematically and with different |

|stakeholders and with different themes and it contributes to enhance the overall aim of the FES which is good governance, promotion |

|and protection of human rights, and gender equality realized in Sudan |

| |

|Gender Relevance |

| |

|In 2016, The GCRT addressed and tackled specific areas of concerns in relevant with SDGs#3 with numbers of papers which were prepared |

|and discussed three themes related to gender concerns. |

|Thus, goal # 5 includes women economic empowerment and gender equality and many more indicators were developed accordingly. The theme |

|is comprehensive in nature but challenge remains on how to contextualize and translate it into an actionable framework. |

|Therefore, a broad-based civil society engagement is needed for more than ever before for doing research, building awareness, doing |

|advocacy, monitoring in this area and sharing experiences. |

| |

|Objective of Activity |

| |

|Raising the awareness and Popularizing the SDGs framework and the mass media institutions with focus on goal # 5 at national and state|

|level, and promoting CSOs knowledge to expect and watch transformation change and build the capacities of media’s professionals with |
