Ministry of Defence engagement with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) is funded by the tri-departmental Conflict Pool and is in line with the objectives of the Building Stability Overseas Strategy and the International Defence Engagement Strategy. This year the MOD has spent approximately £750,000 on defence education for the SAF, of which £450,000 was spent on provision of education within Sudanese military institutions. The education provided in Khartoum included English Language teaching and the delivery of the Management of Defence in the Wider Security Context (MDWSC) course. The Defence education programme for the next financial year has yet to be finalised. We currently expect it to be largely similar in nature and cost.
Our Defence engagement in Sudan contributes to wider cross-government and international efforts to promote stability, accountability and good governance across Sudan. The intent is to encourage security sector reform, with an emphasis on respect for human rights, professionalism, and governance and accountability mechanisms within the armed forces. This engagement has also allowed the UK to play a key role in supporting African Union-led negotiations between Sudan and South Sudan, influencing senior Sudanese military officials to make progress on security-related post-secession issues, thereby contributing to regional stability.
The MDWSC has formed part of our Defence education programme since 2010 with three courses delivered at the Higher Military Academy in Khartoum. It is intended to increase awareness of the range of processes and techniques that may be utilised to enhance the effective governance and management of defence. The UK Defence Academy has undertaken an internal validation of each MDWSC course to determine whether it met its immediate objectives and to ensure that subsequent courses are tailored to meet identified areas of need. MOD Defence education in Sudan is also subject to scrutiny annually as part of the Conflict Pool funding process. The Deputy Director of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Sudan presented on the course held in January 2013. ICRC participation helps ensure that UK-delivered education is coherent with and supports wider international efforts to encourage respect for International Humanitarian Law.
