The Democracy and Governance Office (DGO) portfolio provides urgently needed support to high-level civilian political process, community peacebuilding, civil society strengthening, women and youth leadership, conflict management, trauma awareness and psychosocial support, and human rights documentation. Recognizing the extreme challenges of this moment but also recognizing the critical importance of supporting Sudanese democratic civic actors, and in line with both U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, the USAID/Sudan is the leading donor in Sudan and works closely with the interagency to help shape the U.S. policy approach. The DGO designs, implements, and monitors programs across this diverse sector and coordinates closely with USAID/Washington, USAID/Sudan teams including the Office of Transitional Initiatives (OTI), Office of Sudan Affairs (OSA) Pol/Econ officers and the international donor community. DGO engages extensively with implementing partners, key Sudanese interlocutors, civil society, independent media, and civilian political leaders.
