The next report from the Sudan to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child is due in September 2007. In order for Save the Children Sweden (SCS) to get a better understanding of the process up to now, this analysis was conducted.
However, it is important to keep in mind that the last reports were submitted years ago. Hence, information and statistics is a bit out-dated and might have changed since then. Maybe even more important to notice is the fact that they were written well before the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). SCS would like to understand the history but emphasises that time has changed and that with the CPA signed a new future for the Sudan can be written.
We would therefore like to share this report with people and institutions working to improve the rights of children in the Sudan. It is our hope that this background will facilitate the process of writing the next report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child due in 2007.
