Vision & Mission
Our Vision
Our vision is to see Sudan as a peaceful, safe, politically stable, economically prosperous, equitable, socially coherent, and democratically vibrant country, where its distinct people, with their rich ethnic and racial backgrounds, cultural heritages, and different religious and spiritual beliefs, accommodate each other peacefully and co-exist in harmony, equality, and tolerance that embraces national unity in the country’s racial and ethnic diversity.
Our Mission Statement
The overall mission of the Sudan Knowledge Centre (SKC) is to promote the best practices for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Sudan and to advocate timely response to urgent humanitarian and development needs faced by the country. In this respect, SKC shall conduct its work through policy advocacy, awareness-raising, research, and documentation. In doing so, SKC endeavours to contribute independent and impartial civil society perspectives from a wide spectrum of stakeholders, particularly on efforts to tackle the root causes that underlie conflicts and underdevelopment in Sudan and propose solutions thereto in view that conflicts shall not repeat themselves in the future.
SKC supports fair partnerships and collaboration between Sudan and like-minded governmental and non-governmental entities at the national, regional, and international levels, notably in follow-up and monitoring of mutually accepted projects to uphold fundamental rights and liberties, consolidate adherence to civilian rule and democratic governance, socio-economic development, equality, non-discrimination, and justice. SKC shall use its knowledge of the history and geography of Sudan and the social and cultural beliefs of its people and advocate a process of healing and reconciliation for the victims of atrocities.
In its work, SKC will be guided by its belief that the prevention and suppression of the crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity in any region of the world is a key strategy. Sudan’s long history with internal armed conflicts and atrocious acts against civilians, including man-made famine, needs to be singled out as a case study of the indolence, inability or unwillingness of certain governing regimes to protect their own citizens. Prevention of the commission of serious offensives under international humanitarian and criminal law, which is a collective global responsibility, is the most viable guarantee for the safety and security of persons, including the people of Sudan and the surrounding African subregion.
