In a strategic step that reflects its deep commitment to human rights and national priorities, Mashad Organization for Human Rights and Humanitarian Development announces the launch of the first initiative under its ten-year strategic plan: a national program aimed at training and employing 1.5 million young men and women across all states of Sudan. This initiative is part of a comprehensive vision to contribute meaningfully to reconstruction efforts, promote sustainable peace, and support the building of a civil state founded on justice and equal opportunity.
This ambitious national program is grounded in empowering Sudanese youth through integrated training and employment pathways. These include modern agriculture, animal production, handicrafts and artisanal industries, renewable energy, environmental technologies, digital transformation, technical skills development, entrepreneurship and small-scale enterprises, as well as community engagement and local development. It seeks to lay the foundations for a knowledge-based, human-centered productive economy.
This initiative represents a pivotal turning point in the trajectory of development in Sudan. It is a genuine effort to restore the value and role of youth as a vital national force and to open wide horizons for empowerment and participation in building a stable and sustainable future. It comes at a critical time when there is an urgent need for serious programs that respond to the aspirations of citizens and help mitigate the impacts of conflict and economic deterioration.
Mashad calls upon all young Sudanese men and women from across the country to take the initiative and register for this ambitious national program through its offices and official platforms. The organization also urges government institutions to play an active role in ensuring the success of this project by providing the necessary institutional, legislative, and logistical support. Furthermore, Mashad appeals to national, regional, and international organizations, the private sector, and development partners to support and contribute to this constructive endeavor, which stems from a firm belief that youth are the nucleus of transformation, the anchors of stability, and the gateway to a modern, inclusive state.
As Mashad launches this pioneering project, it reaffirms its belief that the rebuilding of Sudan does not begin from the palace or through arms—but rather from the field, from the will of the people, from the aspirations of the youth, and through a unifying national project that restores trust and hope, unleashes the potential of minds and hands, and builds a nation worthy of its people. This project marks only the beginning of a long-term developmental journey—one that promises a future that is more just, secure, and equitable for a resilient Sudan that rises from its ashes through the determination of its own sons and daughters.
