Sudan Program

Providing real-time analysis on the crisis in Sudan and particularly Darfur

The Sudan program is a real-time social science research project looking into the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Sudan with a special focus on Darfur. Begun in 2004, the program took over several long-standing research and policy engagement initiatives that involved providing analysis and advice to the UN, African Union, and other actors who are involved in trying to resolve the country’s crisis. The program produces regular research briefings, scholarly articles, and books, including Darfur: A New History of a Long War (Zed Books, 2008) and War in Darfur and the Search for Peace (Harvard University Press, 2007).
