As the second phase of the Seco-funded assistance to Sudan on debt strategy formulation, DRI held a technical training workshop with 18 government officials from the Ministry of Finance and Central Bank of Sudan. The workshop trained officials in Debt Relief Analysis using Debt Pro, in Debt Sustainability Analysis using the LIC-DSF, and in cost and risk analysis.

The results confirmed Sudan's eligibility for HIPC relief, and emphasised the need to mobilise additional concessional external resources, and longer-term domestic financing, in order to fund Sudan's national 5-year development plan. Preliminary results were presented to the members of the Presidential Debt Committee. Final results will be discussed with national stakeholders in October, and written up into a National Debt Strategy document for government approval.
