CMC led the research project on youth in Sudan for the British Council as part of the Next Generation series. The project focused on exploring the perspectives and aspirations of young people in Sudan with regards to education, employment, lifestyle, international engagement, values and beliefs, and their hopes and fears for their country's future. The research was conducted through national survey covering country-wide, FGDs, KIIs etc. and provided valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of young people in Sudan. The outcome of the project is expected to inform policymaking and program development that is more responsive to the needs of young people in Sudan and contribute to the British Council's commitment to exploring youth voice and choice.
