The Role of Investment in Sudan’s Economic and Political Future
In the wake of the Comprehensive peace Agreement (CPA) and the onset of relative stability across much of the countries, opportunities for foreign investment in Sudan are likely to rise dramatically. While an influx of private investment could serve to help build peace in Sudan by strengthening its economy and infrastructure, it could also have a serious detrimental impact, both on the companies themselves and - if it served to provoke further injustice and inequality - on Sudan’s political and economic stability.
The content of this paper reflects a series of presentations and discussions which took place at a Concordis consultation held in London in April 2006, entitled the Role of Investment in Sudan’s Economic and Political Future.
