Organization: Sudan Democracy First Group (SDFG)
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
About SDFG:
SDFG was launched in Sudan in
April 2010 as an umbrella group to serve as a think tank and venue for
indigenous research, analysis, advocacy, outreach and campaigning for a
peaceful democratic transition in Sudan. SDFG founders come from different
geographic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and are among the most prominent
figures in the civil society movement in Sudan. The organisation’s areas of
focus include the defence and promotion of human rights, peace building,
conflict transformation and empowering women, youth and other vulnerable groups
for greater engagement in the public debate. The organisation thus provides an
umbrella for collaborative professional work among independent civil society
groups and opinion leaders from across the Sudan and in the Diaspora.
