|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. |
| |
